This isn't a bug with MAAS, it's a bug with shim/grub. MAAS gets its
bootloaders from the public stream at images.maas.io which is generated
by lp:maas-images. lp:maas-images pulls the bootloaders out of the
archive, its currently set to pull them from bionic.

Secure boot is working in the ephemeral environment it's failing when
trying to local boot into the deployed environment. When an x86_64 UEFI
machine local boots with MAAS it boots over the network, downloads
bootx64.efi(shim) which downloads grubx64.efi and this grub.cfg[1]. The
grub from over the network finds /boot/efi/ubuntu/shimx64.efi on the
local filesystem and chainboots to it. Somehow the chain of trust breaks
here causing the system to halt.

Booting local disk...
Failed to open \efi\boot\grubx64.efi - Not Found
Failed to load image \efi\boot\grubx64.efi: Not Found
start_image() returned Not Found
EFI stub: UEFI Secure Boot is enabled.
Bootloader has not verified loaded image.
System is compromised.  halting.

I tried using the shim and grub from Focal but I still get the same
problem.
