Yeah, that's not the right way. Then it would be 3.0.13-0ubuntu1, and not changed in the upstream version. Which is OK too, but I went ahead and imported a git-archive export as 3.0.13+git20210716.269ef9d-1 in the Debian repository and uploaded that to experimental with any-riscv64 (and any-ia64) added to Architecture.

In the PPA, there are a bunch of other changes to debian/rules that are not advertised, such as
- changing from /usr/lib{32,64} to multi-arch paths (which is not where stuff looks for it)
- a redundant addition of an arm64 architecture (any-arm64 is there already)
- I guess cross-compilation support?

I don't think we can apply the first one. We can apply the third one in another upload, but I do want it mentioned in the changelog what's going on. Well optimally, can you submit a merge against the gnu-efi salsa repo with the compilation changes and describe it in the commit message (first line will be used as changelog entry)? That would be best!
