I have reported a bug against debian/lshw:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=977774

We could add the NVME support via cherrypick in active development
release (hirsute) as proposed by my colleague Victor, but I would rather
prefer to see lshw to bump version from B.02.18 to B.02.19 so that
hirsute will be updated (take the opportunity that Hirsute is in
development release to do the necessary to save us time later when
Hirsute will become stable)

https://ezix.org/project/wiki/HardwareLiSter#Changes

To do so Debian has to accept the bump, and I'll then do a sync or merge
from debian/unstable to ubuntu/Hirsute.

Let's see if Debian is reactive to my request, and I'll adjust
accordingly.

In order of preference:
1) If Debian is reactive in a timely fashion to my request, I'll wait for them to bump the package and then merge/sync into Ubuntu.
2) If Debian takes time to answer to my request, I'll sponsor Victor's patchset as is.

But I do think it's worth putting this on hold a couple of days and wait
for a possible outcome for scenario #1.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * NVMe devices are not recognized by lshw in Ubuntu

  [Test Case]

   * Running "lshw -C disk" or "lshw -C storage" does not show NVMe devices.
     Example: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/FfKGNc7W6M/

  [Where problems could occur]

   * This upload consists of four cherry-picked patches and the feature
  is self-contained, so the regression potential is quite low. If
  there's anything to happen, it would be in the network device scan,
  where the structure was altered by the main NVMe patch.

  * For those who does HW monitoring/inventory listing based on 'lshw'
  might observe changes in their inventory listing, it shouldn't be a
  'problem' but I want to point this out.
