Kibi fixed the typo in commit 22f23968338e82e2ac5d943cf8035e5096f230d4. The weird part is that IIUC the package should not have been installed in the target system because it was removed from the installer's cache, so the wifi should not work in the target system either.
When I did my tests, I stopped after the network detection step and did not complete the installation. When doing so, during the package installation step it appears that
1) Loose files in /lib/firmware are copied into the target system 2) Firmware packages matching device modalias are installed. This explains why the wireless firmware was present after the installation.
It wound up in the installed system. I don't recall seeing the license prompt during any of my various Bookworm installations, complete or partial. Indeed, the only prompts I got related to network setup were to announce failures.
Really ? I had the license agreement screen during the package selection and installation step.
