Thanks for the debug information, it's really helpful!

I *think* I might see what's going on here. Did you switch your system
to using EFI by hand at some point? On a system installed via d-i
etc., I would expect to see grub-efi-amd64 installed. And that's the
package that would normally hold the grub debconf settings that shim
is looking for...

In the longer term, I think we'll need to add a trigger for something
like "grub-efi-install" to make things quicker, but I'm trying to
minimise the impact of the shim changes I'm making this close to
release. So for now I'm going to add extra fallback code to deal with
db_get failing, and that should fix this bug.
