Title:
  vmlinuz/initrd.img symlinks do not point to signed versions on kernel
  updates of secure boot UEFI machines

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” source package in Raring:
  Won't Fix
Status in “linux” source package in Saucy:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Kernel updates on a UEFI pc with secure boot enabled have the vmlinuz
  and initrd.img symlinks updated, but they point to the unsigned
  versions of the kernel instead of the signed ones.  The pc was set up
  with secure boot on, has never been booted with secure boot off, and
  no runtime problems have been noted from the wrong symlinks.  Having
  the links to the signed versions is highly desirable, in order to set
  up a USB stick with its own EFI directory to boot Ubuntu, and not have
  to worry about changing the USB stick's grub.cfg files.
