Bug#847343: firmware-misc-nonfree: breaks update-initramfs (initramfs-tools <= 0.125) if plymouth installed

I do not know. Does "affects" provide the version information that apt-listbugs needs to filter bugs?

(2) firmware-misc-nonfree lacks "Breaks: initramfs-tools (<=
0.125)" which it will need even after #847340 is fixed.
I won't add that Breaks line because:
- Only the combination of the new firmware-misc-nonfree *and* plymouth
  breaks with the unfixed initramfs-tools
- jessie and jessie-backports will never have a version of initramfs-
  tools that satisfies that
- jessie can get a fix for this in a stable update

Yes, that sounds fine to me. The Breaks: I wrote is too broad and this will all come out in the wash on unstable.

I agree we need to stop this version of firmware-nonfree going into
testing before initramfs-tools is fixed, so I'm assigning this bug
back.

Thanks very much.

Kind regards,
