I must confess I didn't spend time checking the BTS, only the source code, woops. Thanks for the pointer, I think I'll consider this a “known issue” (for it to be requested while it's neither needed nor to be found anywhere), and blacklist that file in hw-detect. For the avoidance of doubt, I don't recall any major problems with my wireless connection, at least during all installation tests: one full GNOME installation at the beginning, and many no-desktop installation tests after that. I haven't used the installed systems much though, since I'm working on the installer side. :) Adding #969264 in cc to chime in: that's still current as of linux-image-5.10.0-8-amd64 (version 5.10.46-2), both in the Debian Installer context, and within the installed system. I'm seeing this in a current Dell G3 15 machine (DELL G3 15-3500 – 3500-1294 if my notes are correct).
