Bug#1116709: hw-detect: list_deb_firmware() does not find files in trixie packages after /usr merge

Thanks anyway for the report, patch, and follow-ups.

I totally understand how it makes sense not to move everything from
oldstable to stable (I'm always slow to catch up personally), and why
you encountered this issue.

Now that we have a clear picture of what happens (more of a corner case
than a general breakage we would have noticed months ago!), I still
think it would make sense to teach the fallback code about the “new
directory”, in unstable and then in trixie (which would only land after
a point release).

Phil, if you want to take the lead on the upload to unstable (with or
without my comment suggestion, definitely not a blocker!), I can deal
with the trixie preps?
