Public bug reported:

Availability
---------
Already in Ubuntu universe.

Rationale
---------
A future version of both fwupd and fwupdate will add a dependency upon the 
library libmsbios_c.

* For fwupd this adds a plugin that is able to do firmware updates to Dell 
TB15/WD15 docks and Dell TPM devices which are not present in the ESRT table.

* For fwupdate this allows turning on UEFI capsule support in the BIOS 
(fwupdate unlock) without entering the BIOS.
