Hello, Filling out some of the missed information below and also providing some random thoughts of my own on this.

It also depends on asahi-scripts[1] which contains the asahi-fwupdate utility, et.al. This also contains initramfs integration to make the firmwares available during early boot and then provided as a tmpfs under /lib/firmware/vendor in the running system. Preliminary packaging is available at: https://salsa.debian.org/bananas-team/asahi-fwextract https://salsa.debian.org/bananas-team/asahi-scripts Some random thoughts: AIUI currently only initramfs-tools integration is shipped, but maybe it would be good to also provide dracut integration (as provided by upstream, if possible to integrate with debians dracut packaging)?! I don't see any asahi-scripts ITP yet. Since asahi-scripts is a dependency of asahi-fwextract I would have expected one to be posted before this. Maybe the multiple-upstream-tarballs feature could be used to package them together? But it's possibly more problems then benefits. Maybe the asahi-scripts should have a less generic binary package name? and split into multiple packages? Regards, Andreas Henriksson [1]: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/asahi-scripts
