Unfortunately, no. Ansgar Burchardt kindly pointed out that Built-Using
must refer to a source package, not a binary package. This was wrong in
the previous iteration and I didn't spot it. Refer to the debian policy
section 7.8.

Now there are two other subtle things left.

Previously, fwupd included the *.efi images. Now it recommends them. Is
that enough or should that be a hard dependency to retain the old
behaviour? I don't know. Does fwupd actually work without the *.efi
binaries?

I'm also wondering why the signing-template includes the SIGNARCH in the
package name. This is not a regression, but it should follow the same
reasoning as for why fwupd-unsigned doesn't have to include an
architecture. Do note that the same binary package may be built from
different source packages for different architectures as long as now two
source packages build it for the same architecture. For instance
libsystemd-dev used to be built from different source packages for
linux-any and kfreebsd-any. Can we simplify that part as well?
