** Description changed:

  fwupd was split into fwupd and fwupd-efi as part of bug 1955386, however
  the fwupd-efi package is in universe.  As the previous fwupd package was
  already in main, the fwupd-efi source package that stemmed from it
  should also be brought into main.
  
  Both fwupd-signed and fwupd have a Recommends on fwupd-unsigned, which
  is provided by the fwupd-efi source package.
+ 
+ [Availability]
+ The package fwupd-efi/source, fwupd-signed/amd64, fwupd-unsigned/amd64, is 
already in Ubuntu universe.
+ It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd-efi
+ 
+ [Rationale]
+ fwupd is a utility that upgrades bios and lots of firmware of HW components 
so that they got the last fix from HW vendor.
+ 
+ It has already existed in main for quite a long time. The only reason we
+ need MIR is the source code split to kind of de-couple the efi
+ and user-space utility.
+ 
+ [Security]
+ Given this is a source code split, the security-related issue should have
+ be properly handled previously.
+ 
+ [Quality assurance - function/usage]
+ Same as above. If you need further detail on a certain point, please kindly 
state your request.
+ 
+ [Quality assurance - maintenance]
+ Same as above. If you need further detail on a certain point, please kindly 
state your request.
+ 
+ [Quality assurance - testing]
+ Given this is an EFI app pkg, and it upgrades OS bios, it's not so trivial to 
test. We do have certain test steps in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates.
+ 
+ [Quality assurance - packaging]
+ fwupd-efi-1.1$ lintian --pedantic
+ E: fwupd-efi changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file unstable
+ W: fwupd-amd64-signed-template: empty-binary-package
+ P: fwupd-efi source: silent-on-rules-requiring-root
+ P: fwupd-efi source: uses-debhelper-compat-file
+ 
+ [UI standards]
+ This is an EFI app, it provides text mode UI in English and no user 
interactivity.
+ 
+ [Dependencies]
+ $ apt-cache depends fwupd-signed
+ fwupd-signed
+   Recommends: secureboot-db
+   Recommends: fwupd-unsigned
+   Recommends: fwupd
+ 
+ All it’s depends is in main after this MIR is done.
+ 
+ [Standards compliance]
+ All good per what I know.
+ 
+ [Maintenance/Owner]
+ It’s properly and actively maintained from upstream:
+ 
+ https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd
+ https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd-efi
+ https://fwupd.org/
+ 
+ [Background information]
+ Given this is a source code split re-MIR, I think it’s quite obvious.
+ Related links are provided above.
