The hwinfo package is part of the universe section of the Ubuntu archive. 
Universe packages are maintained by the community, and the maintainers  do not 
necessarily work for Canonical, therefore these packages are not always 
supported directly by Canonical. 
 
The existing process to update packages in the Universe archive with patches, 
is as follows:
 
1) Upstream: Upstream your fix to the appropriate upstream project.
2) Debian: once your patch is ack’ed and accepted upstream, you need to request 
a merge of this patch to the package in Debian stable.
https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting use this link to report your issue and 
submit a fix.
3) Ubuntu: Once it is merged into Debian stable, request a merge of this 
package with Ubuntu.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Bugs will provide you an overview on how to 
handle bugs that are reported to Debian and subsequently to Ubuntu. 
 
You will need to work with respective maintainers upstream, Debian and Ubuntu, 
during this process. For critical issues we can advise you as you go through 
this process and help push the patches through by chasing the appropriate 
project contributors.
