[Bug 1955386] Re: fwupd / fwupd-efi split on version 1.7.x

[Julian Andres Klode]

** Description changed:

- As the current fwupd is 1.7.x and it's fwupd / fwupd-efi source pkg has
- been splited, we need a new way of packaging and landing those in
- ubuntu.
+ [Impact]
+ As the current fwupd is 1.7.x and it's fwupd / fwupd-efi source pkg has been splited, we need a new way of packaging and landing those in ubuntu.
+ 
+ Likewise, on bionic we want to move to newer signed fwupd-efi binaries,
+ so we stop building the EFI binaries in src:fwupd despite still being in
+ the source.
+ 
+ [Test plan]
+ Install fwupd-signed built from fwupd-efi and the new fwupd and check that it creates boot entry. We patched out building the UEFI binary only but kept the plugin, so we need to ensure the plugin still works correctly.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ Could have messed up disabling the UEFI bits and then people can't do UEFI firmware upgrades anymore.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  As the current fwupd is 1.7.x and it's fwupd / fwupd-efi source pkg has been splited, we need a new way of packaging and landing those in ubuntu.

  Likewise, on bionic we want to move to newer signed fwupd-efi
  binaries, so we stop building the EFI binaries in src:fwupd despite
  still being in the source.

  [Test plan]
  Install fwupd-signed built from fwupd-efi and the new fwupd and check that it creates boot entry. We patched out building the UEFI binary only but kept the plugin, so we need to ensure the plugin still works correctly.

  [Where problems could occur]
  Could have messed up disabling the UEFI bits and then people can't do UEFI firmware upgrades anymore.

  [Other info]
  We do not have a task for fwupd-efi as it is binary copied and we can't add it to the changelog.
