Aha.  They live in the same svn repository.  I just commited these links
to discover/debian/control:

  Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-discover/discover/trunk
  Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-discover/discover/trunk/

What does the "non-free/firmware thing" mean?  Perhaps I can help to fix
it?  Is the problem better solved by isenkram?

I am planning to commit the fixes myself, so you do not need to keep it
on your long todo list. :)
