Bug#522415: firmware-nonfree: please create a mother package for all firmware
Package: firmware-linux-nonfree
Version: 20160824-1
Followup-For: Bug #522415
Dear Maintainer,
FWIW I also think that having the meta packages bring in as many
firmware packages as possible can be useful.
I would put the dependency in the firmware-linux-nonfree package rather
than in the top-level package, but it's fine either way.
The fact that firmware-amd-graphics is installed automatically but other
firmware packages are not is rather asymmetric.
Thanks,
Antonio
