[Bug 2131001] Re: Support Dell SD25/WD25 new firmware package and PS5512 usb hub on Dell machine

[Nick Rosbrook]

> fwupd used to be bundle the EFI application in the same source
package. We separated them so that SRU (and release) are easier. It
looks like this documentation might need some clarification for that.

Yeah, it sounds like a docs update is in order. Can you please do that
at some stage? https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-project-
docs/tree/main/docs/SRU

> Yes; A bunch of changes happened in 2.0.17 that wouldn't pass
autopkgtest without the debian/ fixes. It would be a lot more work to
"not" make those changes.

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying.
