I do not follow that logic. First of all, if they can sign grub or
sd-boot they should be able to sign efifs too. Secondly, they could
just embedd the relevant efifs driver in the sd-boot binary, and sign
the result (see other mail). Hence, you build two binaries. Make one
of them. Sign one binary.
