Title:
  Current fwupd packages in Focal and Jammy are EOL

Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The 'fwupd' package in Ubuntu is responsible for retrieving firmware
  updates from the Linux Vendor Firmware Service [1] and applying them
  to Ubuntu client hosts. The fwupd package version that is shipped with
  Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 [2] is currently End of Life, though, and is
  not even receiving security updates. We think this package should be
  updated to a supported version [3].

  Apparently one of the fwupd developers submitted a Stable Release
  Update request some time ago, but no action was taken on updating the
  package in 20.04 or 22.04. I do not have the details for that
  submission, though, but is this effort generally something that you
  could move along? Here is a relevant bug report [4] that brought all
  of this to our attentions.

  Thanks for your consideration,

  Jim
