Description
In setup() of vboxdrv.sh there is following code
if test -n "$HAVE_SEC_BOOT" &&
type update-secureboot-policy >/dev/null 2>&1; then
SHIM_NOTRIGGER=y update-secureboot-policy --new-key
fi
This leads to a prompt to disable SecureBoot. This is both unexpected and unwanted.
Happening on Debian 11

Hi kieb,
VirtualBox 6.1.40 and 7.0.0 should both have this issue fixed. Fix was applied to both host and guest startup scripts.
