Bug Description
Compressed kernel images were introduced in bug 1384955 to work around some limits on old u-boot systems. This in turn broke grub-check-
Work to fix grub to handle such images on arm64 for backward compatibility is tracked in bug 1954683. This bug is to reconsider whether the change is still necessary or could be removed in 22.04 such that we can have proper UEFI executables again.
