Bug Description

As we are not going to seed zsys on eoan, but our default layout will be zsys compatible for future upgraders, ensure we don't show up incompatible history entries in grub if it's not installed.

The current patch has multi-systems known limitations, but the feature is marked as experimental and this patch should be short-lived (until zsys is seeded).

grubzfs-testsuite (0.4.1) eoan; urgency=medium

  * Fix lintian issues on copyright
  * Depends on zsys:
    Generate menu has some temporary zsys checks, add it for our tests to
    pass for the next grub upload. (LP: #1845333)

---------------
grub2 (2.04-1ubuntu9) eoan; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/ubuntu-zfs-enhance-support.patch:
    - Handle case of pure zfs only snapshots giving additional "}", and as
      such, creating invalid grub menu.
      Spotted by grubzfs-testsuite autopkgtests.

grub2 (2.04-1ubuntu8) eoan; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/install-signed.patch -> ubuntu-install-signed.patch:
    Really fix the installation of UEFI artefacts to the distributor path (we
    only want shim, grub, and MokManager, and shim's boot.csv there), and to
    the removable /EFI/BOOT path (where we want shim and fallback only).
    Rename the patch to ubuntu- like others that are Ubuntu-specific or
    otherwise modified to avoid such confusion at merge time in the future.

grub2 (2.04-1ubuntu7) eoan; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/ubuntu-zfs-enhance-support.patch:
    Disable history entry under some conditions:
    - Don't show up if the system is a zsys one and zsys isn't installed
      (LP: #1845333)
    - Don't show for pure zfs systems: we identified multiple issues due
      to the mount generator in upstream zfs which makes it incompatible.
      Disable for now (LP: #1845913)
