Bug#1036565: debian-installer-12-netboot-amd64: Installers needed b43 ucode16_mimo.fw, had to eth0 net install + manual firmware-b43-installer, MacBookPro5,5

None of those are relatd to debian-installer-12-netboot-amd64, which
ships files to boot the installer via PXE.

How would this work? firmware-b43-installer is just a downloader, so for
it to do anything, you need to have a working connection in the first
place. It's basically an empty shell, with its postinst doing the
downloading.
