I have reviewed flashrom along with fwupd and I don't see anything that
looks like it will cause problems. The flashrom documentation recommends
using vendors' flashing utilities when possible for laptops, and there
is a link to that page of the documentation in the manpage.
I have attached a debdiff to this comment that addresses several other concerns
about this MIR. The attached debdiff
1) Adds the build time unit tests to the meson build
2) Adds a simple test script that operates on an emulated
chip without sudo privileges. This runs as an autopkgtest
3) Removes the warning about command line syntax change
from the manpage
4) Adds a comment on the stability of this program to the manpage
5) Adds a .symbols file for libflashrom1

Further review will be needed. The Package does not have a test suite that
runs as autopkgtest.
[Availability]

[Duplication]
There is no other package in main providing the same functionality.
[Rationale]
fwupd depends on libflashrom1 for its flashrom plugin, something that's
required to update Coreboot firmware.
[Security]
No CVE's, but due to the nature of the package security should review.
[Quality Assurance]
Package builds and runs easily
[Dependencies]
N/A
[Standards Compliance]
Complies with FHS, though the organization of files in the source package
could be organized better.
[Common blockers]
