(I've moved several of the lines above up from the gaps in the quoted
section below.)

While these files, as Greg said, do not appear to be available in Debian
packages that I see...

...all of these appear to be present in the firmware-amd-graphics
package, at least in the version I have installed. It's version
20251111-1 , which is between current stable and current testing; I
probably got it from testing and a newer version has become available in
testing since that point.

Do you have that package installed? If yes, at what version, and with
what (relative to this area) contents?

I think that would be expected, as long as the amdgpu module is being
included in the initramfs that's being built. Which would be a little
bit surprising for one targeting a system without an AMD graphics
device, but only a little, since including that module helps ensure the
same initramfs can work if you swap out your GPU between one boot and
the next.
