I'm not sure I understand your argument. Do you refer to 'firmware: agent aborted' as negative response from the user agent?
That is not the root of the problem, rather a symptom. The most problematic line is: 'check-missing-firmware: /run/udev/firmware-missing does not exist, skipping' This shows that the missing firmware is not written to the file, where it used to be, and thus the Debian installer does not try to load the missing firmware from a 'firmware' folder, because it thinks that nothing is missing. Therefore the driver does not find the necessary firmware and aborts.
I don't know what program is responsible for writing the 'firmware-missing' folder, but I assumed it would be the kernel, as this is about kernel modules. On the other hand, this folder is a subfolder of 'udev', so that may be the responsible program. If I recall correctly, udev merged with systemd, so perhaps this is a problem in systemd instead of the kernel?
