Yeah, just go on and overwrite the default libqmi package installation
(I did never tell you to do this) :)

$ sudo apt-get build-dep libqmi
$ NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
--libexecdir=/usr/lib/libqmi --disable-gtk-doc --enable-mbim-qmux
$ make -j8
$ sudo make install

Although just to test qmi-firmware-update you could use a different
prefix altogether, e.g.:
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/qfu-test
But in this case you'll need to run with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, e.g.:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qfu-test/lib /opt/qfu-test/bin/qmi-firmware-update ....


Otherwise, you could rebuild your own .deb using the debian packaging
from here, and bumping the version in the debian/Changelog:
