Package: src:tiny-initramfs
Version: 0.1-2
Severity: normal
(Filing this as maintainer of tiny-initramfs after seeing the the
other bugs related to secure boot filed on debian-devel.)
As well as the other initramfs implementations in Debian (dracut,
#820041 and initramfs-tools, #820037), tiny-initramfs should also
support detached signatures for the kernel modules to support secure
boot. Since it doesn't use kmod to load modules but the syscall
directly, support for appending the signatures needs to be added to
tiny-initramfs - in addition to the code required in the Debian
packaging that generates the initramfs and copies the modules there.
I plan to work on this once I've familiarized myself with how the
signature stuff works.
@Ben: I'll leave it up to you if you want to block #820036 with this
bug, as tiny-initramfs is a very niche thing with low popcon.
Regards,
Christian

Closing this bug: detached signatures are not used anymore, and if
the normal kernel packages are installed, modules are now signed
by default, so adding them to tiny-initramfs will just work[tm],
without any special support.

Christian
