It seems the bug report was filed against the (working) testing version
when (as said in subject) the problem is really in the 2021 unstable
version. Adjusted bug metadata accordingly. (I've confirmed by checking
the content of both versions myself.)
It seems the reason that brcm/brcmfmac43340-sdio.bin symlink is missing
is this:
The symlink first gets installed in debian/build/install ... then
debian/rules.gen (generated by debian/bin/gencontrol.py)
does *not* install it into debian/firmware-brcm80211 .
The reason seems to be that the filename is not listed in
debian/firmware-brcm80211.metainfo.xml
(The cypress filename the symlink points to is however listed
and that gets installed as expected.)
HTH
