Hi,

At the moment, fwupd will only be installed by default on systems
installed to use a Gnome desktop (checked for Buster, Bullseye and
Sid).

We should probably pull it in and enable it by default for most
systems (i.e. all desktops and servers) - it's the primary way
expected to drive updates to UEFI system firmware and the DBX
list. Maybe just for UEFI installations?
