I do not see the difference from anaconda's perspective. With secure
boot enabled, UEFI(?) verified the boot medium/the environment anaconda
runs in and with the manual process a human did. How does it help
anaconda if the environment has been verified by UEFI?

Nevertheless, once anaconda is capable of installing only proper
packages from a verified environment, a patch do also do this if the
environment has been verified by a human should be trivial.
