Hi Roger, A user has requested a bullseye backport of firmware-iwlwifi (firmware-nonfree), and I'm wondering if you'd like to resume your work for this release cycle. Hi Sebastian, Brandon, and Reinhard, Would any of you like to maintain a backport of the libdrm, intel-vaapi-driver, and libva2 stack? I'm a Multimedia Team member who has maintained bpos of these in the past. Also, please see my note below and comment if that's something you don't want to see in the package in sid (since dependencies should ideally be tightened in sid rather than in bullseye-backports).

In addition to libva2, it needs intel-vaapi-driver, and also libdrm. Finally, I seem to remember that I experienced graphics corruption on my system unless I tightened the dependencies so that these three packages built against the versions in backports rather than in stable.
