This really ought to be fixed, as these cards have become very common and users are complaining (see #839139). The second of the attached patches creates a new firmware-nvidia-graphics package with the firmware files for Maxwell and Pascal chips. While I still don't have the hardware to test the package, at least update-initramfs no longer warns about missing firmware when nouveau is included in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. The new package currently is slightly under 60 kilobytes, and it would certainly also be possible to put the files into the firmware-misc-nonfree catch-all package (the Tegra firmware is already there). However, more NVidia firmware is probably going to be released in the future, so a separate package makes sense to me. In any case, the first of the two attached patches fixes a problem in debian/rules.real where 'ln' would fail because a target directory does not exist. Thanks for consideration, Sven
