How far could the FBI use this case as a precedent if it goes through? Could they demand to get stuff signed and put on Canonicals repos? Could they demand to get a MS-signed EFI?

Or could this case just be used as a precedent in cases that clearly only involved one (1) specific device?

Nobody knows. That would be for the unelected judge to decide, which is what makes this all so scary.
