Title:
  Demote gcab to universe

Status in gcab package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  gcab was originally brought into main to support the fwupd runtime
  dependency for libgcab.

  fwupd 1.9.7 internally has support for CAB files without the help of
  the extra library.  AFAIK fwupd remains the only reason that gcab is
  in main in Ubuntu.

  As fwupd 1.9.7 is now in noble, gcab can be demoted to universe.
