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).
