Severity: normal

Dear Debian Live Team,

May 14, 2025 debian-cd Commit 18b865ec:
  Exclude firmware-marvell-prestera on all archs.
    https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/debian-cd/-/commit/18b865ec

May 23, 2025 live-build Commit fb6ffc02:
  firmwarelist: filter firmware-marvell-prestera
    https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/commit/fb6ffc02

However, firmware-marvell-prestera is still included in:
    debian-live-testing-amd64-*.iso
but not in:
    debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso

This can be seen by going to:
    https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-live-builds/amd64/iso-hybrid/
and viewing:
    debian-live-testing-amd64-standard.iso.packages

I think this is because:
  * Package: firmware-libertas (oxymoron!)
  * Recommends: firmware-marvell-prestera

If so, possible solutions include:
  * Filter, and perhaps exclude, firmware-libertas
  * Change firmware-libertas Recommends to Suggests
  * Uninstall firmware-marvell-prestera later in the process

Thank you!
