I pushed this bit on your behalf as commit
ab100b905f4073b24d69af3de6de61c4c55ce27d.

It’s a bit sad that the closure of ‘grub-efi’ goes from 162 MiB to
223 MiB because of Perl, which is used to run this tiny ‘ckbcomp’
program.  At some point we should consider translating it to Scheme,
especially since it’s essentially data.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
