[Bug 1895044] Re: update_nvram defaults to false, not true as per docs

 

mwhudson already saw this and fixed in master, though without filing a
bug and no review AFAICT.  =(

https://git.launchpad.net/curtin/commit/?id=83944d61e95ea7eb17289625330f0863bec39488

So daily curtin groovy is fixed.  This is released in 20.1 so we'll need
to SRU to Xenial, Bionic, Focal.

Bug description:
  While verifying MAAS 2.9.0b1 I noticed that NVRAM variables are not
  being written. MAAS does not set this variable and according to the
  docs it should be set to true by default[1]. Without NVRAM being
  written the UEFI boot order isn't modified and no new entry is added
  for the deployed OS. If MAAS is down while a deployed machine reboots
  this may cause the machine to be unable to reboot.
