It is in my view inappropriate for any seeds, or authoritative VCS branches
for Ubuntu packages, to be owned by a team that does not have
ubuntu-core-dev as a member - since ubuntu-core-dev are defined as the team
that has upload rights, and oversight responsibility, for the entire
archive.

So if someone could please update ~unity7maintainers to add
~ubuntu-core-dev, that would be a good idea.

Title:
  Drop fwupdate from the archive from E

Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Confirmed
Status in fwupdate package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in lubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-unity-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Further to this bug report:

  We can now move forward and remove fwupdate from the archive.  The new
  tool fwupd replaces fwupdate, and fwupdate is now seen as legacy.

  This won't have any effect on the ability to update firmware etc, the
  tooling all uses fwupdmgr.

  I would like to get Mario's +1 on this bug report before we proceed
  and to make sure that my assertions are correct.
