Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of grub2 the autopkgtest of tboot fails in testing
when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of grub2 from
unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular
form:

                        pass            fail
grub2                  from testing    2.14~git20250718.0e36779-2
tboot                  from testing    1.10.5-5
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of grub2 to testing
[1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against
both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the
bug to the right package?

Control: reassign -1 src:tboot 1.10.5-5


Given the importance of grub2 in our stack and the popcon of tboot
(currently 1, maximum 6), I decided to remove tboot from testing. Hence
this bug becomes mainly a tboot issue.
