I filed the following bug which may be related?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=990867

Even though the (error) messages are/seem quite different, maybe 
the 'Read-only file system' message is also kernel related?
I don't know the details anymore, but I've seen 'efivars' come by
on the debian-kernel ML several times.

Excerpt from bug #990867:

Setting up shim-helpers-arm64-signed (1+15.4+6) ...
Installing for arm64-efi platform.

 shim-signed:arm64 depends on shim-helpers-arm64-signed (>= 1+15.4+2); however:

Maybe they're totally different things, but figured I'd mention it anyway.
