Bug#1034041: Should firmware-amd-graphics be automatically installed?

[Keith Proctor <keith_proctor@apple.com>]

I must have sent 1/2 a dozen requests to unscript to this email address.

debian-boot-request@lists.debian.org

This address was in the email headers.

Why am I not being removed?

I had a similar experience with a desktop system containing a Radeon
RX470 graphics card.  The text-based installation went all right and
then even the Gnome desktop opened after reboot, but it ran in a
low-resolution mode until I manually installed firmware-amd-graphics
(the non-free-firmware archive component was already enabled).

Is this the intended behaviour?

Which installer did you use?

Its lsb-release says:

DISTRIB_ID=Debian
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Debian GNU/Linux installer"
DISTRIB_RELEASE="12 (bookworm) - installer build 20230401"
X_INSTALLATION_MEDIUM=netboot

so it must have been bookworm RC 1.  The date was 22nd of April.  I
started the kernel+initrd.gz from GRUB.
