Package: firmware-linux-free
Version: 20200122-2

Hi,

we want to finalize the /usr-merge transition by moving all aliased
files from / to /usr via DEP17 to avoid any negative effects arising
from aliasing. firmware-linux-free is involved, because it installs
firmware files below /lib/firmware. Since it cannot be converted
automatically using dh-sequence-movetousr, I'm attaching a patch. This
patch should not be uploaded to bookworm-backports or earlier. Also note
that firmware-carl9170 is in the process of taking over firmware from
firmware-linux-free and doing so will cause a file loss (DEP17 P1). This
is tracked as #1050989. I do not expect that firmware-linux-free needs
to support firmware-carl9170 in mitigating this.

Helmut
