We have people flipping between uefi <-> legacy boot too. because they can in firmware =) granted they need to extra steps to get that to work. I don't think it is heavy-handed, instead it is forward-looking =) and doing it at package level, catches "apt full-upgrade" installation too - as a few people don't use release-upgrader.

Another suggestion is to split the tool, efi, signed-efi into separate pacakges.

Maybe even migrate to ubuntu-drivers infrastructure to pull in fwupdate on known machines. As far as I understand, my UEFI desktop will never receive fwupdate based updates, because board manufacturer doesn't provide things like that.
