[Bug 1512510] Re: [SRU] [HWE] Backport gnu-efi 3.0.2 to 15.04

$ reverse-depends -b src:gnu-efi
Reverse-Build-Depends
=====================
* efitools                      (for gnu-efi)
* fwupdate                      (for gnu-efi)
* gummiboot                     (for gnu-efi)
* kexec-tools                   (for gnu-efi)
* sbsigntool                    (for gnu-efi)
* shim                          (for gnu-efi)
* systemd                       (for gnu-efi)
$

This impacts several packages other than fwupdate.  The SRU test case
needs to include confirming buildability of all of these reverse-
dependencies, and confirming that shim and sbsigntool work correctly
after rebuild.

Title:
  [SRU] [HWE] Backport gnu-efi 3.0.2 to 15.04

Status in gnu-efi package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Shipping fwupdate in 15.04 (hardware enablement tool; a firmware updater tool) requires the use of gnu-efi >= 3.0.2.

  [Test Case]
  - Attempt to build fwupdate in 15.04.

  Without gnu-efi >= 3.0.2, the build will fail to complete.

  [Regression Potential]
  Limited to EFI installations. Issues in efivar may incur specific failures at handling EFI variables; or when trying to build EFI images (which may show as unexpected behavior in these images).

  However, gnu-efi 3.0.2 is already shipping in 15.10 and has not been
  causing issues.
