+    <p>
+      This project builds a UEFI binary for installing updates using the
+      UpdateCapsule runtime service.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The source was imported from the combined fwupd project, and is now
+      maintained separately to allow fwupd userspace releases and fwupd-efi
+      UEFI executable releases to follow a different candence.
