Bug#641343: [xserver-xorg-video-radeon] Please revise firmware suggestion
Package: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
Version: 1:6.14.2-1
Severity: wishlist
On a note related to #576229, it would be nice to clarify the suggestion
of firmware on two points:
1. The current suggestion is on firmware-linux, which is a metapackage
depending on firmware-linux-free and firmware-linux-nonfree. I can't see
how firmware-linux-free would help radeon, so it would be clearer to
suggest firmware-linux-nonfree directly.
2. There is no explanation of how the firmware improves radeon. It would
be nice to add an explanation to the extended description.
