I have previously committed to maintaining this package in Debian; this is
only blocked on the availability of a Debian master key to embed in it (no
point in building binaries until this is done).

Retitling the ITP package name to 'shim', which is how this is named in
Ubuntu.  Yes it's generic, but that is the upstream name and it's how it's
been named in Ubuntu.  If the ftp masters have objections to this name I
don't mind changing it, but barring such objections I believe the
consistency is preferred.
