Bug Description
[Impact]
Shipping fwupdate in 15.04 (hardware enablement tool; a firmware updater tool) requires the use of gnu-efi >= 3.0.2.
[Test Case]
1) Attempt to build fwupdate in 15.04.
Without gnu-efi >= 3.0.2, the build will fail to complete.
2) build shim and sbsigntool in 15.04.
3) verify that shim and sbsigntool run correctly when rebuilt against gnu-efi 3.0.2.
[Regression Potential]
Limited to EFI installations. Issues in efivar may incur specific failures at handling EFI variables; or when trying to build EFI images (which may show as unexpected behavior in these images).
However, gnu-efi 3.0.2 is already shipping in 15.10 and has not been causing issues.

$ reverse-depends -b src:gnu-efi Build-Depends ======= =======
Reverse-
=======
* efitools (for gnu-efi)
* fwupdate (for gnu-efi)
* gummiboot (for gnu-efi)
* kexec-tools (for gnu-efi)
* sbsigntool (for gnu-efi)
* shim (for gnu-efi)
* systemd (for gnu-efi)

This impacts several packages other than fwupdate. The SRU test case needs to include confirming buildability of all of these reverse- dependencies, and confirming that shim and sbsigntool work correctly after rebuild.
