    Osmario,

    I think you may be subsribed to notifications about the bug report itself.

    This part from https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer may help

    [Em portugues:://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer.pt.html ]

    It is also possible to unsubscribe from a bug. Unsubscribing can be done by sending an email to [email protected]. The subject and body of the email are again ignored by the BTS. Users will be sent a confirmation message which they must
    reply to if they wish to be unsubscribed from the bug.

    By default, the address subscribed is the one found in the From header. If you wish to subscribe another address to a bug, you will need to encode the address to be subscribed into the subscription message. This takes the form of: nnn-subscribe-localpart=
    [email protected]. That example would send [email protected] a subscription message for bug nnn. The @ sign must be encoded by changing it to an = sign. Similarly, an unsubscription takes the form nnn-unsubscribe-localpart=example.com@bugs.
    debian.org. In both cases, the subject and body of the email will be forwarded to the email address within the request for confirmation.

    If you are also subscribed to Debian-boot mailing list:

    https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/unsubscribe

    YOu will receive a confirmation email so that you can confirm that
    the unsubscription request is not a mistake.

    With every good wish, as ever,

    Andy Cater

    Hi,

    At the moment, fwupd will only be installed by default on systems
    installed to use a Gnome desktop (checked for Buster, Bullseye and
    Sid).

    We should probably pull it in and enable it by default for most
    systems (i.e. all desktops and servers) - it's the primary way
    expected to drive updates to UEFI system firmware and the DBX
    list. Maybe just for UEFI installations?
