Hi,

I'm contacting you as cruft-ng maintainer,
I would suggest you to also try this software on freshly
installed Trixie: one should get an empty report.

Instead I get all the files "firmware-sof-signed",
but this package is not officialy installed
as seen by dpkg/apt/cruft-ng.

Should it be installed or not is an orthogonal problem.
(I don't know); but a live systemd should not
end up with so many unknown loose files;
that create uncertainity wether these are needed
or not for daily operation.

Greetings and thank you for the work !

Alexandre
