Just booting had no effect. Even a Windows 11 complete install from 
scratch (on empty disk) does not block old Clonezilla boot.

Tried also with "get latest updates as soon as they are available" option.

I did it to exclude something not standard in OEM installation.

Now I have a machine again. No, there is only the entry for "EFI shell", 
but no one is included in firmware.
It wants it on a usb key, and says that you have to disable secure boot 
to make it work.

So it doesn't seem to be a good diagnostic platform for secure boot.

My idea is to load tools on old Clonezilla, to compare the condition 
between before and after new Clonezilla boot.
I cannot use a new Linux, because I would see a just changed condition.

EDIT:
Now I've tried Fedora live: it doesn't act like Debian. After it, I can 
still boot old Clonezilla. Not only at grub page: I can also load live 
environment.
This is what I expect from a live.
So I can use it to dig into secure boot keys.
