OK, then I think I'll do the following:

 - I'll avoid the regression for 23.10 by disabling the
EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE protocol in edk2 for now and close this bug.

 - I'll repurpose bug 2037137 (currently a dupe of this one) to track
re-enabling NX support, with tasks for both edk2 (remove the workaround)
and shim (address this bug, and the additional issue in Comment #11)

 - I'll drop the shim task from here.

 - I'll plan to re-enable EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE protocol again ahead of
24.04 LTS, and communicate this in NEWS.Debian in the package and the
release notes for 24.04.

Bug description:
  I try to create an autopkgtest VM on an arm64 system with

  autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud -v --release mantic

  or on an amd64 system with

  autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud --arch arm64 -v --release mantic
