Package: firmware-nonfree

Version: 20221214-3

My laptop has a new-ish wireless card, an RTL8852BE. Firmware for this card was merged into upstream linux-firmware in October and is included in the upstream 20221214 release.

The version of firmware-realtek in Sid is 20221214. But the firmware for the RTL8852BE is absent (it should be in the 'rtw89' directory). Why? If there isn't a reason for this, is it possible for it to be included in time for Bookworm?

Thanks
