Yes.

That doesn't help. The grub2 and grub2-signed packages must be in exact
version lockstep to avoid problems.

Upon unembargo, the grub2 package needs to be copied first from the security
ppa to -proposed, where the grub .efi binaries can be signed, and then
grub2-signed needs to be uploaded to -proposed, after which the packages can
be copied to -security.
