Bug#1059858: debian-cd: Missing firmware packages due to usr-move



Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.2.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

quite a few firmware packages are missing from today's debian-installer
ISOs. Among the missing ones: firmware-atheros, firmware-realtek, and
many others. Some firmware packages such as firmware-ath9k-htc and
firmware-linux-free are instead present.

Packages correctly included in the ISOs ship firmware files under /lib,
while those not included use /usr/lib. For example the following is
included:

 firmware-linux-free: /lib/firmware/av7110/bootcode.bin

While missing packages install firmware files under /usr/lib:

 firmware-atheros: /usr/lib/firmware/wil6210.brd

It seems likely that tools/generate_firmware_task needs to be patched to
take usr-move into account.

Thanks,
  Emanuele
