Note that even if we did get it split, I'm not sure I'd like setting this up
the way GRUB is set up, where the signing happens as part of building the
package from source. Having packages completely locked down from the community
sucks balls, and this approach is nice in that the only part that's actually
locked down is the part that *signs* the binary.

It also makes it *really* easy for third parties to do their own signing by
taking the signing spec and pointing it to their own certificates.

Once this package is reviewed and accepted, I intend to finally write the
guidelines I've been stalling on for how to do EFI stuff in Fedora.
