While this is true, it only requires the shim and grub to be copied for another distro.

From other comments there are a lot more blobs than just these two.

It sounds like most, if not all, come from upstream projects.

Would be nice if the dev can respond and confirm that…

I think they did say that in the older thread. But for proper security, you shouldn’t have to trust them. You should have build tools that will re-fetch everything to create an identical build. That gives a clear chain of custody, which proves that morning has been tampered with.
