As per currently agreed SRU policy exception for fwupd:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates focal launched with 1.3.x, so
only the 1_3_X branch should be added into focal archive.

As mentioned there we track the stable branch in Ubuntu, so we shouldn't
be backporting a plugin without associated other changes.  This is very
important as often daemon changes that are not obviously tied to the
plugin may need to backport at the same time.

So the options are either:

1) Get the synaptics fingerprint plugin backported into 1_3_X branch
upstream and a new upstream 1.3.x release tagged.

2) Discuss with technical board to request to modify the exception to
allow moving to the 1.4.x or 1.5.x release stream.  In "general" I'm
supportive of this direction, there are certainly other devices that are
supported in upstream that it would be nice to support in LTS as well.
