Bug Description
The release notes for Ubuntu 12.10 claim [1] that UEFI Secure Boot is supported and suggest that I should expect an "it just works" experience on new hardware. However, when I try to boot an Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit bootable USB stick [2] on a brand-new Acer Aspire V5-171, the following message appears:
2. USB HDD: Memorex TD Classic 003C has been blocked by the current security policy.
[Ok]

WORKAROUND: Enable legacy BIOS boot mode.
