Bug#1106005: installation-reports: I end up with all the files of "firmware-sof-signed" installed, but not the package itself

You selected the graphical installer which uses /install.amd/gtk/
initrd.gz which contains these firmware files because they may be needed
for sound and this initrd is also used by installation with speech
synthesis. hw-detect.post-base-installer.d/50install-firmware copied
these loose firmware files to the installed system as it does with any
loose firmware files.
If we want to fix this, possible options include:
- always queue firmware-sof-signed for installation in the target system
even if it not needed by audio devices;
- delete firmware-sof-signed firmware files when the installer does not
need them any more (after audio drivers are loaded and sound is
working). If an audio device needs them, then hw-detect should detect it
and queue firmware-sof-signed for installation in the target system.
