Title:
Duplicate firmware files in /lib/firmware
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
linux-firmware ships firmware files that are identical/duplicates:
```
$ fdupes -rm /lib/firmware/
341 duplicate files (in 195 sets), occupying 37.1 megabytes
```
Please patch the source package and replace the duplicates by
symlinks. Alternatively run jdupes during build, but then ensure that
the resulting symlinks are stable.
This will reduce the initramfs size especially after compressing
firmware files (bug #1942260) and putting compressed files in an
uncompressed cpio archive (bug #2028567).
