Looks like newer fwupdate would need a newer efivar too; this will need
a bit more testing (verifying that reverse-dependencies still build).

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  This Bug is found on Ubuntu 16.04 with fwupdate 0.5-2ubuntu4, but not found 
on Ubuntu 17.04 with fwupdate 9-1.
  
  The newer version of capsule flashing tools in Ubuntu 17.04 supports the
  reset type from some querycapsuleinfo call.
  
  
https://github.com/rhinstaller/fwupdate/commit/f1cc489783d2054e90fa6bebc3732e7ea8bb3722
  
  [Test Case]
+ 
+ == fwupdate ==
  On a system with a capsule update available, perform capsule update using 
fwupdate.  Verify the system works properly after the update.
+ 
+ == efivar ==
+ Validate that all efivar reverse-dependencies in a release still build 
correctly.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  Any vendors that relied upon the previous functionality (hardcoded to warm 
reset rather than querying for reset types) may have problems.  This is 
actually a BIOS
  problem in those situations.
  
  It's unlikely that this should happen though because querying for reset
  types more closely aligns to the implementations that other OSes use
  when applying capsule updates.
