Bug Description

The version of dfu-programmer currently shipped in this package is horribly out of date. The latest upstream version is 0.7.2, which was released in 2015:

https://dfu-programmer.github.io/

Among other things, the newer version is required to program AVR32 UC3C devices. There is already an updated version available in a PPA, which could perhaps be used as a template:

I'm a new maintainer on dfu-programmer. The other two maintainers don't use the software much anymore.

My main contribution has been implementing CI on GitHub Actions to reliably publish new Windows binaries. (In the process I also updated the Windows versions to use libusb1).

Is there something I can do here to help with this publishing?
