It only needs fwupd, not gnome-firmware.

You're totally right. It doesn't seem like I can edit the bug report though.

This is already covered by "fwupd" being an optional dep for "gnome-software" which is part of the "gnome" group.

I feel like the correct thing to do here is to make gnome-control-center work independently from either the gnome group as a whole (not everyone needs the entire group) or gnome-software (not everyone wants gnome-software installed). fwupd should probably be installed with gnome-control-center if it doesn't work properly without it.
