** Description changed:

  [SRU Justification]
  Move to using self-signed keys for signing DKMS modules, along with the 
wizard / guide to make this work properly, to let third-party modules be signed 
and loaded by enforcing kernels, rather than disabling Secure Boot altogether.
  
  [Test case]
  1) Install Ubuntu in UEFI mode.
  2) Install bbswitch-dkms (or another -dkms package if useful on your system).
  3) Follow the steps in the debconf prompts (enter a password, remember the 
password for next boot).
  4) Reboot; follow the steps in MokManagerL
  4a) Pick Enroll MOK: add the new key, enter the password when prompted to do 
so.
- 4b) If the system was previously with Secure Boot disabled in shim (ie. a 
dkms package was previously installed), pick "Change Secure Boot state". Follow 
the prompts to enter password characters.
+ 4b) If a dkms package was previously installed on the system (so Secure Boot 
is currently disabled in shim), pick "Change Secure Boot state". Follow the 
prompts to enter password characters. The option will only show up if Secure 
Boot validation was found to be disabled.
  5) Pick "Reboot".
  6) Log in and verify that the dkms module is loaded, using "lsmod | grep 
<module>".
  7) Run 'modprobe <module>' to validate that the module can be loaded 
explicilty.
  8) Validate that there are no errors from modprobe or errors in dmesg 
concerning signing keys.
  
  [Regression potential]
  If anything currently relies on Secure Boot validation being disabled in 
order to correctly run with an enforcing kernel, or grub is used in enforcing 
mode, custom / third-party kernels and modules may fail to load.

  shim-signed's update-secureboot-policy should allow creating a machine-
  owner key, and using this for signing kernel modules built via DKMS. Key
  generation and enrolling should be made as easy as possible for users.
