So we can presume, perhaps, that it's a case of ranking:
shim-signed being installed as a Recommends is ranked lower
than upgrading shim-signed-common, and so it gets removed.
All my systems were upgraded successfully because I ignored
any arm64 bug reports, so all my lists and caches have been
refreshed since, and I don't have access to the control data
for shim-signed/1.33+15+1533136590.3beb971-7.
Perhaps others can make better informed guesses.
Cheers,
David.
