[Test Case] - Attempt to build fwupdate in 15.04. Without gnu-efi >= 3.0.2, the build will fail to complete. [Regression Potential] Limited to EFI installations. Issues in efivar may incur specific failures at handling EFI variables; or when trying to build EFI images (which may show as unexpected behavior in these images). However, gnu-efi 3.0.2 is already shipping in 15.10 and has not been causing issues.
