This mail from Ben Hutchings says that I should be making a udeb since this firmware is free: https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/ 179d6d32466dd13962a3aab251c45242fbf2d8ae.camel@decadent.org.uk Although I see what he meant was that kernel-wedge doesn't support this sort of thing well yet, and that changes to it will be needed to go that route. > Please provide a proper patch for firmware-nonfree to replace the > currently included firmware with a dependency. If the purpose is to make a smooth transition for those who only have non-free firmware installed, but no free firmware installed, then I can do that. Since this firmware is free, firmware-linux-free should Recommend it (#900171), and I've provided a merge request for that which I'd appreciate review of.
