efibootguard-dev is only a build time dependency and
not an runtime dependency.

-dev makes no sense, but don't we have any dep on libs? Or are they
statically linked?
It is statically linked - efibootguard-dev contains only libebgenv.a.
Ah, yeah, part the SWUpdate's problems...
Well, meanwhile, this pattern has been deprecated in favor of
using https://github.com/sbabic/libubootenv
I guess it's about time for EFI Boot Guard to catch up..


Kind regards,
Christian
