Bug#998861: RM: fwupd-ARCH-signed-template -- ROM; moving to new source package

[Steve McIntyre <steve@einval.com>]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hey folks,

This is a little complicated, sorry... :-/

In upstream fwupd, the EFI pieces have been moved to a new fwupd-efi
source package and we're ready to take that change in Debian. The new
fwupd-efi source package will now provide the
fwupd-ARCH-signed-template binary packages.

*However*, for added complication we also want to keep the fwupd
source package around. There's a new version coming which *won't*
produce the fwupd-ARCH-signed-template packages, but it's not going to
be buildable until we have fwupd-efi in the archive due to a build-dep
on it.

So: I'm hoping that removing those existing binary packages from
unstable will be enough to allow fwupd-efi into the archive. Does that
sound reasonable?

(Patch for dak signing-config coming soon)

Cheers,
