Grub2 unsigned 10.0

Luis Guzmán requested to merge (removed):grub2-unsigned_10.0 into nabia

grub2 and grub2-unsigned are distributed under the same package name, the only change is on the version as the unsigned variant tracks a newer versions, thus grub2 is not fetched accordingly.

The change/commit introducing FIXED_VER allows to set tracking a specific version on the helper, allowing to track a lower version that corresponds to the correct grub2 package.

$ apt-cache madison grub2|grep -v trisquel
     grub2 | 2.04-1ubuntu26 | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main Sources
     grub2 | 2.04-1ubuntu26.13 | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main Sources
grub2-unsigned | 2.04-1ubuntu44.2 | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main Sources

Fixing the above issue now leaves grub2-unsigned package that also exists unchanged, thus this requires its own helper that tracks a verbatim copy of grub2 one and it DATA folder, without the FIXED_VER variable of the helper.

apt-cache madison grub2-unsigned|grep -v trisquel
grub2-unsigned | 2.04-1ubuntu44.2 | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main Sources

So for new changes on grub2, will require to apply those changes to grub2-unsigned and re-build.
