Public bug reported:
fwupd is the closest we have to a standard mechanism currently for doing
in-band firmware updates in a vendor agnostic way. As long as the
vendors provide firmware blobs in an appropriately formatted package,
fwupd (or fwupdate) can install those firmware blobs from within Ubuntu.
Because of this, we should include the related packages in the server
seed. The main components all live in Main currently. As far as I can
tell (verified on a Bionic install), nothing in the current server seed
pulls in fwupd, fwupdate, or fwupdate-signed as a dependency.
