Package: firmware-nonfree
Version: 20180825+dfsg-1
Severity: important

(Important, because it has a major effect on the usability for
users of a specific hardware. Feel free to adjust.)

firmware is needed for Wifi, but also the text file
brcmfmac4356-pcie.txt needs to be installed in
/lib/firmware/brcm/ which is fairly difficult:

Please add this file, so that mere mortals could install Debian
on this device. Thanks!
