Bug#1031696: Also affects bookworm
Please note that, since bookworm has started to include firmware files,
this issue is also starting to affect bookworm users [1] and I can only
advise Debian maintainers to raise its priority, rather than dismiss it
as something that will only affect folks who don't use DD mode to write
the ISOHybrid, as this is going to affect people who are used to simply
extracting the ISO content onto FAT32 media to install Debian on a UEFI
system.
In short, if this issue is left unaddressed, bookworm will be
introducing a *regression* compared to bullseye, in that it will no
longer be possible to perform a Debian installation on a UEFI system
through file system transposition, and everyone will be forced to either
use DD or use a utility (like Rufus 3.22) that includes a *custom
workaround* for Debian, in order to duplicate the symbolically linked
firmware files.
Regards,
/Pete
