Package: debian-cd
Severity: Important

The current Bullseye installer images don't include the "ast" video driver, making it impossible to install Debian on systems that don't have a fallback VGA BIOS (anything non-x86, e.g. ARM/OpenPOWER).

Ubuntu fixed this issue almost 5 years ago:

Please include the "ast" kernel module, which does not require any proprietary firmware to function, in the Debian installer CD images.
