Package: firmware-nonfree
Version: 20221214-3

My laptop has a new-ish wireless card, an RTL8852BE. Firmware for this card was merged into upstream linux-firmware [in October](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=e497757a948697838d7d56bf0cf94831b3655d6f) and is included in the upstream [20221214 release](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/snapshot/linux-firmware-20221214.tar.gz).

The version of [firmware-realtek in Sid](https://packages.debian.org/unstable/firmware-realtek) is 20221214. But the firmware for the RTL8852BE is absent (it should be in the 'rtw89' directory). Why? If there isn't a reason for this, is it possible for it to be included in time for Bookworm?

Thanks
