Looked at the debdiff - looks sane. One thing I pointed out and
discussed with Matthew already is the versioning used in the grub-efi-
amd64-signed.postinst addition. The grub2-signed binaries are getting
binary versions that are glued together as <grub2-signed version>+<grub2
version>, so normally we'd like to check for that instead of only the
source version (so in this case 1.167~16.04.2+2.04-1ubuntu44 I
suppose?).

That being said, we decided just to leave it as is since we basically
only care about the grub2-signed part to change. Since it's the first
part of the version number, all upgrade scenarios should cause this
check to be avoided (also 1.167~16.04.2 < 1.167~16.04.2+2.04-1ubuntu44
so it's all good). Documenting this here so we have some history
regarding the decision making.
