If it stays enabled by default it would have to be added to jhbuild
(or the moduleset changed to disable it forcefully, but that's not
nice), and this would work as long as fwupdate is installed
system-wide, right?
Release-team-hat-on, in time of releases it would help to have
tarballs created with 'make dist(check)' (I think github allows this,
but if that was not the case they could certainly be pushed onto the
GNOME ftp server).
