(Get the code!)
Hi, I maintain efibootmgr/efivar in Debian.
Ubuntu 14.04's efibootmgr (0.5.4-7ubuntu1) doesn't even use efivar, so you don't need to worry about dependencies there.
If you're concerned about 15.04's efibootmgr (0.11.0-3), then you'll need to observe the restrictions in efibootmgr's debian/control as efibootmgr started depending on libefivar as of efibootmgr version 0.7.0-1. There are API changes in efivar that require that both packages be updated together (around efibootmgr 0.11 - 0.12 IIRC). This is well documented in the debian/changelogs for the respective packages as well as the git history on Alioth.
As far as the efivar version dependency change in efibootmgr 0.12-2, it has to do with the SONAME version format changing in efivar 0.20-2. This is mentioned in the debian/changelog for efibootmgr 0.12-2 and the git history on Alioth.
