Wow. Bootstrap_firmware is much faster!

Should the new dell-dup package have a dependancy on the  
dell_inventory_collector? Without dell_inventory_collector, I don't  
get any firmware updates. Adding it, I get all additional (I assume  
DUP based) updates such as BMC_Firmware, RAC, SAS, and Server_BIOS  
packages.

Thanks,
Tarun
