Going ahead with non-free-firmware

[Ansgar Burchardt <ansgar@debian.org>]

Hi,

I think there was consensus to introduce the non-free-firmware section
and move the non-free firmware blobs there.  I'm wondering what we need
to do next?

Besides the ftp team setting the new section up, I expect the installer
would need changes to enable it instead of non-free when non-free
firmware is required; maybe it still needs to ask for non-free as well
for other reasons?  Other teams might also need to add the new section,
e.g. the release team, packages.d.o, ...  I expect the list to be
hard-coded in quite a few places.

Then the release notes need to document that "non-free-firmware" might
have to be added to sources.list.

Finally we need to identify the packages that should move there.  I
guess all non-free packages named "firmware-*" would be a good match.
