Vincent has been kindly helping me with this.
The firmware-sof-signed 2024.06 package:
https://packages.debian.org/trixie/firmware-sof-signed
In particular the sof-ipc4-tplg package that is being converted from a directory to a symlink.
The dpkg-maintscript-helper complains about /usr/lib/firmware/intel/sof-ace-tplg (and it's contents) not being owned by the package - because they were all previously under /lib.
