This weekend I've written the missing parts, non-free-firmware images are now generated by default by live-build, and the ISO images are still bit-for-bit reproducible.

How do you currently install the non-free firmware packages?

Depending on the availability of the section 'non-free-firmware', the package 'firmware-linux' pulls in the firmware-related packages.

Also the script [2] looks for packages that contain files in the folder '/lib/firmware' and pulls in all those packages as well.

FWIW, I've uploaded live-tasks-non-free-firmware that could be used to provide firmware packages for either desktops or servers. Control file here with more details: https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-tasks-non-free-firmware/-/blob/main/debian/control

I'm filing an unblock for it too, so that it can migrate to testing.

Should the live images use those 2 meta-packages instead of the heuristic?

With kind regards,
Roland
