Bug#845488: ITP: linux-firmware-raspi3 -- Raspberry Pi 3 GPU firmware and bootloaders



Thanks for the hint, I did not realize that Ubuntu’s linux-firmware-* hierarchy is actually firmware-* on Debian.

What’s the best way to rename this package, given that it already sits in the NEW queue? Do I need to talk to an ftp-master to remove it from there and then do another upload?

Is this really Linux-specific?  If not, please consider dropping the
'linux-' part.
