signed vs unsigned fwupd programs
------------------------------------

fwupd 1.1.0 is configured to understand when to use a signed version
of the EFI binary.  If the signed version isn't installed but secure
boot is turned on, it will avoid copying to the EFI system partition.

This allows supporting secure boot even if not turned on at install, or
changed later after install.

In Ubuntu, both fwupd-signed and fwupd are seeded in the default
installation. Nothing is installed to the ESP until it's needed.

In Debian, the package name for the signed version is slightly
different due to different infrastructure. fwupd-signed-$ARCH and
fwupd should both be installed and then things will work similarly
to what's described above.
