I was looking at #869875 since I was looking for something like woeusb.
The upstream packaging was able to produce a debian package with some
minor modifications (to follow normal debian process rather than
upstream's package build process and mk-build-deps/gdebi stuff).
I was looking at how it works and discovered in the source that it does
a wget from a github url in order to grab a raw uefi-ntfs image file

  https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB/blob/master/src/woeusb#L1167

that repository in turn gets it from the uefi-ntfs project

  https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-ntfs

which also depends on EfiFS

  https://github.com/pbatard/efifs

Obviously this is bad for security/Free Software/reliability reasons.

But all of the above appear to be Free Software, so it might be possible
to package them and have that image file available via a binary package
at runtime when woeusb needs it.

Thanks,
