Please use reportbug in future.  It would show you the message for this
package which explains how it is not the right package for reporting
driver problems.

I'm quite sure that this package does have firmware for your Radeon
chip, though that may not be obvious - naming of the Radeon models *is*
very confusing.  That's not the problem, it's a change in the actual
driver which is in linux-image-something.  I'm reassigning accordingly.
