Bug description:
[Impact]
* A few users have reported instances of not being able to boot into Ubuntu after a firmware update. This is suspected to be caused by a missing Ubuntu boot entry.
* fwupdate adds an entry for doing the update to the BootOrder, but doesn't remove it. BIOS auto-creation for making boot entries typically depends on the BootOrder being empty.
* This affects all releases of fwupdate since the code to add to BootOrder was
also backported into the Ubuntu 16.04 release of fwupdate (0.5-2ubuntu5)
[Test Case]
* Perform a UEFI BIOS update after installing this package.
* Ensure the system boots and there is no longer a "Linux Firmware Updater" entry
present in the efibootmgr -v output.
[Regression Potential]
* Regressions are possible to manifest if any BIOS depends on the
previous behavior.
* The fixes that were backported have been upstream for a few months and no
concerns have been raised upstream from them.
[Other Info]
Two users have reported that fwupd breaks their Ubuntu installation because the "Ubuntu" EFI boot option disappears after an update.
