Bug#988817: (no subject)

[Steven Maddox]

As I've come to understand it... since fwupd is in main and it 
recommends a package not in main, then it violates policy 2.2.1


Since this directive is a 'must' I've changed the severity to 'serious' 
as per the meanings of those severity levels.

Bug#988817: fwupd: Recommends on nonexistent package secureboot-db

[Robbie Harwood (frozencemetery)]

Package: fwupd
Version: 1.7.4-2
Followup-For: Bug #988817
X-Debbugs-Cc: rharw...@club.cc.cmu.edu

It's been rather a while, so I no longer remember, but it may have just been
my own curiosity.  I did check again and none of the apt* that I use seem to
complain.

Be well,

Just a thought, but couldn't you modify the build to dynamically add
this relationship only when building on Ubuntu? Possibly using
sustvars or a generated control file like qemu has?
