[Bug 1841744] Re: Drop fwupdate from the archive from E

[Mario Limonciello]

For ubuntu-unity-meta I asked the maintainer in #1842014 to update it
but they didn't yet.  Considering the urgency here, I took matters into
my hands:

1) Ported https://code.launchpad.net/~unity7maintainers/ubuntu-seeds
/ubuntu-unity.cosmic -> https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev
/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu-unity

2) Updated ubuntu-unity-meta to reference eoan.  Due to how germinate
works, it falls back to https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev
/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu-unity when
https://code.launchpad.net/~unity7maintainers/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu-
unity.oean doesn't exist.

3) Refreshed dependencies using ./update

4) Uploaded to eoan

So I believe that Ubuntu plans can continue now.

That said there is discussion in Debian now to turn fwupdate into a transitional package with something like this (advice welcome).

  We can now move forward and remove fwupdate from the archive.  The new
  tool fwupd replaces fwupdate, and fwupdate is now seen as legacy.

  This won't have any effect on the ability to update firmware etc, the
  tooling all uses fwupdmgr.

  I would like to get Mario's +1 on this bug report before we proceed
  and to make sure that my assertions are correct.
