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

[Mario Limonciello]

I just looked into this a bit further and fwupdate itself isn't actually
co-installable, so I think your approach is right.  I've done this in
the 1.9 upload.

Title:
  fwupdate-signed: arch-qualified package names, but not coinstallable

Status in fwupdate-signed package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  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.
