Bug#1035382: Bookworm amd64 live install ISO RC1 and RC2 install pointless raspi-firmware package
Package: debian-live
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
X-Debbugs-Cc: thinkpad@rumbero.org
Installation of Bookworm RC1+2 using amd64 live install ISO[1] includes package 'raspi-firmware', which in this context is a useless waste of space. It's presence results in the creation of a /boot/firmware/ directory of more than 100MB and which serves no purpose for a amd64 system. Manually purging the package leaves the pointless /boot/firmware/ directory in place.
For debugging purposes, please refer to the installer logs available via [2].
Please ensure the 'raspi-firmware' package is only included with live ISO variants where it actually makes sense.
Thanks,
P.Seelig
