Public bug reported:
The linux-image-generic package depends on linux-firmware which is over
half a gigabyte in size installed. I will assume that quite many people
do not have netronome hardware which weighs in at almost 150MB of that.
I kindly suggest to put such large firmware for less common hardware
into its own linux-firmware-extra package which would be recommended by
linux-firmare.
Comments?
I'm willing to help with the packaging provided that the changes have a
chance to land.
