Package: firmware-ath9k-htc
Version: 1.4.0-108-gd856466+dfsg1-1.2
Severity: serious
Justification: regression in hardware support

Hi,
Here's another thing that was totally overlooked while forcing the
switch from firmware-atheros to firmware-ath9k-htc in an uncoordinated
manner: the dep-11 metadata are (1) hardcoded in the firmware-ath9k-htc
package, and (2) out-of-date.
This means we're actively losing support for hardware by switching from
the non-free package to the one in main!
Right now, the following entries are missing:
- AirTies AR9271
- Altai WA1011N-GU
Those date back to v4.12-rc1 (2017) and v4.16-rc1 (2018) respectively:

Surely checking feature parity should have been the very first step?
Cheers,
