Here, using firmware-linux-free alone just like on the other machine
does not solve the problem.

Using firmware-nvidia-graphics without firmware-misc-nonfree makes
the machine unbootable just after unlocking the disk.

Installing firmware-nvidia-graphics in addition to firmware-misc-nonfree
solves the problem. So I'm reassigning the bug.

The change from "Recommends:" to "Suggests:" was due to a request in

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1137651

but this should rather be solved by the installer. BTW, the installer
currently does *not* install "Recommends:" by default, so that #1137651
wouldn't even have been solved! See
