Thank you, but nothing else is needed. Romain, there was no reason to 
ask for this and therefore I removed the *moreinfo* tag. It’s clear, 
that an update of the package is needed, as the file is present in the 
Linux firmware git repository [1] added in commit [2].

Also, the severity is set to normal again, as the device is not fully 
operational without the firmware, as the battery will not last as long 
as possible.

It’d be great if a new version of the Debian packages was released.

Alexander, until the new version is released, you can work around it, by 
copying the file into `/lib/firmware/i915/`.


Kind regards,

Paul
