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!
