  Description     : Firmware update daemon

 fwupd is a daemon to allow session software to update device firmware. 
 You can either use a GUI software manager like GNOME Software to view and 
 apply updates, the command-line tool or the system D-Bus interface directly.
 Currently, firmware updates using the UEFI capsule format and for the 
 ColorHug are supported. More formats may be supported in the future.

Currently Daniel Jared Dominguez and I have been collaborating on packaging
for fwupd located at http://linux.dell.com/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/debian/fwupd.git/

We are discussing assembling a packaging maintenance team for firmware related
packages such as fwupd, fwupdate, efivar, etc.

Upstream has not yet released the 0.1.4 release.  That is the first release that
should be put into Debian.  The 0.1.3 release doesn't yet properly support
UEFI capsules.
