Dear Maintainer,

since the Debian bookworm release, d-i apt-setup adds non-free-firmware 
as new default mirror component by default. This improves user 
experience in case of awkward hardware (esp. network components).

As a Debian Pure Blend, Debian Edu should no longer enable contrib and 
non-free mirror components.

Those have been a service for users when d-e-config/.../tools/pxe-addfirmware
and .../tools/ltsp-addfirmware were needed to add required non-free firmware.

Please note: Both scripts might be obsolete as of bookworm. Also, the 
manual might need revision concerning non-free firmware.

This change will fix the bug (patch also attached):
