Quirin, do you want to step up as maintainer? I would still be sponsoring your package uploads but do not want to take responsibility for the package because I have never used it. To make this your ITP send an answer including the bug address with the first two lines: Control: retitle -1 ITP: efibootguard -- UEFI-based bootloader Control: owner -1 Quirin Gylstorff Thanks, Bastian

There is the initial work done by Bastian with contributions by Quirin already [1], but EBG moved on since then and needs some more work to support 0.12. Likely, we will need patches from current next as bookworm is broken with that release. Some bits to account for structural changes in the latest releases is in [2], possibly not in Debian shape yet. "broken" is a bit of a stretch. Instead of taking the patches from next I came up with https://salsa.debian.org/debian/efibootguard/-/commit/6f62ed00158dbdeb2e4559a6c052ac8db41b53e6 It would help downstream packages to apply CFLAGS and LDFLAGS as you can also see with Debian's blhc checks at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/efibootguard/-/jobs/3039310

Bastian, do you have the time to support this? What is needed from your perspective, what should we contribute? I have updated the package to build v0.12 but run into: ./configure: line 14997: syntax error near unexpected token `-mgeneral-regs-only,' ./configure: line 14997: `AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG(-mgeneral-regs-only,' Full log at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/efibootguard/-/jobs/3036697 The suggested "next" changes do not fix this. I create an MR on salsa with the necessary fixes. Quirin So if you could provide a patch for this I can hand in the package. I would prefer not to be responsible for it and can hand over maintainership to somebody who actually uses the software.
