Well, I was thinking of distros. Since I will not be the creator of the Linux ISO which I will be downloading and burning onto a DVD, how can I create those keys and insert them into the DVD without going through the whole rigmarole of building the OS and the whole ISO in the first place? At least, this is how I understand how this is supposed to work. If I am wrong, perhaps Alan Cox or Thibault Nelis, or Sam Varshavchik can elucidate.
Supposing your OEM isn't abusing his powers and respects Microsoft's requirements if it's an x86 platform, you should be able to add your own key in the firmware, which will be used to verify the boot loader. If this thing is well designed (I assume it is), you won't have to flip a single bit on the boot loader and certainly not rebuild it (provided it does support secure boot in the first place).
