[Impact]
* This tool makes it trivially simple to update and adjust OVMF-based UEFI
NVRAM variables data (usually for secure-boot related key stores) with ease
without having to use tooling within a VM itself to modify it.
* With the June 2026 expiration of Microsoft signing keys, it is imperative to
update keys and certificates for VMs' UEFI stores with newer 2023-signed CA
certificates - something that is NOT easy to do in OVMF firmware environments
due to the way Debian and Ubuntu build the images.
* This tooling is actually recommended by the upstream tianocore / EDK2
teams for updating NVRAM vars and add certificates with ease.
[Scope]
* Source: Resolute
* Target: Noble
[Other Info]
* Pure python 'all' package. No dependencies or rdeps that are missing
in Noble. Builds without issue and runs without issue (tested in a live
24.04 environment - my daily driver).
[Testing]
* Noble:
[YES] Package builds without modification
[YES] python3-virt-firmware installs cleanly and runs
No reverse dependencies
** Affects: virt-firmware (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
