If we assume that everyone will use the Debian version distributed by Pine, then I see why LVFS would seem like an unnecessary third party. However, LVFS is a distro-independent mechanism whereby users with any distro can get firmware updates automatically. E.g. my Dell Latitude gets automatic firmware updates regardless of my running Fedora or Linux Mint (my two main distros for this machine). Similarly, it seems like a lot of Pinebook Pro users are enjoying Manjaro rather than Debian - do they need to boot Debian just to update firmware?
