#59529 — Disable intel management engine

I see that system 76 disables intel management engine for a potential
security breach.
Does Debian has any plans similar to this?

System76 manages the hardware and firmware of their machines. Debian is a
distribution, we have no control over what machine our users uses. Disabling
the management using (using the HAP bit) is not something which can be
attempted  without deep knowledge of the machine it runs on.

So the short answer would be no, because we can't.
