I've modified the script to use dep11 information. Comparing results, it
seems some packages are missing those “AppStream metadata”, and should
probably get a bug report accordingly?
amd64-microcode
atmel-firmware
bluez-firmware
dahdi-firmware-nonfree
firmware-crystalhd
firmware-ipw2x00
firmware-linux-free
firmware-zd1211
intel-microcode
ixp4xx-microcode
prism2-usb-firmware-installer
(firmware-linux-free might be special because in main; not sure.)
In the meanwhile I've pushed the commit to the dep11 branch instead of
the master one (still in the hw-detect repository).
KiBi.
