gnome-software now ships a gnome-shell search provider, which lets it
match search strings from uninstall apps. So what we can do here is to
avoid installing firewall-config in the default setup, but at the same
time make sure that searching 'firewall' in gnome-shell finds
firewall-config as the first result so it's easily discoverable and
installable.
