Run script after apt-get updates grub

I use Debian 9 on an EFI system with a custom grub image and configuration file in order to make Secure Boot work. However, whenever apt-get updates Grub my customizations get overriden.



What is the best solution for this? I do not want to prevent grub from updating, as there might be security updates. I have a script that creates my customizations. Is there a way to run that every time apt-get updates grub?



Unfortunately, I cannot find much information on this, as the Google results are just cluttered with people running into grub update error messages.

Make a custom trigger file at /var/lib/dpkg/triggers



More info: https://wiki.debian.org/DpkgTriggers






share|improve this answer





















  • Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't understand how this would help. If I create a custom trigger it wouldn't be called by the grub package when it is installed, because it doesn't know about my trigger.
