Re: Supporting wireless as good as possible on official images

[Daniel Baumann <daniel@debian.org>]

i thought my previous mail should be easily understandable, but i'll try
again then:

  * users who use the prebuild images from cdimage.debian.org will
    never have non-free firmware packages included.

    users who require non-free stuff for their wireless and are using
    the prebuild images should be pointed to a readme (included on the
    image) that tells them how to add non-free and install the required
    packages.

  * users who build their own images should get the firmware packages
    automatically installed *iff* they are building with non-free
    enabled.

    therefore, as richard said, the packages lists need to be
    extended with conditional packages that get only installed when
    non-free is enabled (live-heper makes use of this already in
    several other cases).

unless someone either proposes a readme, or supplies a list of firmware
packages, or ideally does both, i'm afraid nothing will happen.
