Bug Description

The small GRUB installation in the EFI partition that points to the actual GRUB installation on the installed OS doesn't appear to include the ZFS modules. This causes issues when booting because it can not load the actual GRUB config from the OS installation.

For now I've worked around this by including all the contents of /boot/grub in /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu-16.04/grub. I then changed the /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu-16.04/grub.cfg to point to that directory and its content instead of the config on my ZFS pool.

  * Use HTTPS for Vcs-Git URL.
  * Add zfs, zfscrypt, and zfsinfo to signed EFI images (LP: #1542358).

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/postinst.in, debian/kernel/zz-update-grub: Call
    systemd-detect-virt (which works under any init system, despite the
    name) instead of the Ubuntu specific running-in-container wrapper.
