  fwupdate (0.5-2ubuntu7) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Redo patch series. (LP: #1730343)
    - Backport ALL patches to EFI application up through the "9" release.
    - The last two attempts have introduced unobvious bugs due to nature
      of cherry picking.
    - The "9" release of the EFI application however has been stable in
      future releases of Ubuntu.
