[Bug 1559578] [NEW] fwupdate-signed: arch-qualified package names, but not coinstallable

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

The fwupdate-signed source package produces binary packages that each
have the architecture name: fwupdate-{amd64,arm64,armhf,i386}-signed.
However, unlike in the case of grub, these binary packages are not
coinstallable, as each contains the file /usr/lib/fwupdate/version.

Given this, I don't see any reason to have the architecture name in the
package name.  I would suggest renaming all the binary packages to
'fwupdate-signed' instead.

Since the fwupdate-amd64-signed binary package was already in the
archive, I didn't consider this a blocker for binary NEW and have let
the others in.  A resolution for this bug should include appropriate
transition handling for all architectures.
