Ubuntu packages - dependencies - make it dependent to coreboot-utils

[lienardj]

Hi,

"nvramtool" is not installable on Ubuntu 22.04, however it's available in the package "coreboot-utils". You could make the package "coreboot-configurator" dependent of "coreboot-utils" or "nvramtool".

What do you think ?

I ran into the same issue where nvramtool was not installable as discreet package on Arch. I ended up having to compile coreboot-utils from source which took many hours (on a brand new core i7 Starbook, I might add) and had a large number of dependencies that also had to be compiled. My suggestion would be to separate nvramtool out into it's' own github project so that I can be compiled as a standalone and make it dependency for coreboot-utils and coreboot-configurator. Distros could then also opt to package both utilities as it would be a lot easier.
