Title:
  MacBook Pro EFI firmware updates not installable in Ubuntu

Status in Mactel Support:
  Confirmed
Status in “efibootmgr” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: efibootmgr

  Quite a few people seem to be working on ways of getting Ubuntu on
  MacBook Pro (MBP), and it does seem to work in a way. However, if one
  uses Ubuntu as one's only operating system on a MBP, you can no longer
  profit from bug fixes coming with EFI updates.

  Would it be possible and legal to implement an Ubuntu EFI updater into
  Ubuntu 8.10 or later? EFI updates are available on Apple's website.
