Already done in #990662.  The firmware in question is not distributable,
so it cannot be shipped in firmware-misc-nonfree.  A downloader package
in contrib could be a solution, though.

I can't really check license etc. right now, but that looks like
something that should be filed against src:firmware-nonfree, which ships
some nvidia-related firmware files in its firmware-misc-nonfree binary
package.

It'd be nice if someone else from debian-boot@ could triage this
further.

Bug#1032405: installation-reports: missing nvidia nouveau firmware: nvac_fuc084 & nvac_fuc084d

[Fab Stz]

Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal

I couldn't try on the real system which is an iMac 9.1 (because I don't have
physical access to it presently), but there is no package shipping these
firmware files which are required by nouveau.

firmware: failed to load nouveau/nvac_fuc084 (-2)
firmware: failed to load nouveau/nvac_fuc084d (-2)

Boot method: DVD
Image version: 
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso
Date: 2023-03-06

Machine: imac 9.1

Until now, I installed them this way as per
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/VideoAcceleration.html

mkdir /tmp/nouveau
cd /tmp/nouveau
wget https://raw.github.com/envytools/firmware/master/extract_firmware.py
wget 
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/325.15/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-325.15.run
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-325.15.run --extract-only
python2.7 extract_firmware.py  # this script is for python 2 only
mkdir /lib/firmware/nouveau
cp -d nv* vuc-* /lib/firmware/nouveau/


It would be nice if there were a firmware package for it in bookworm


-- Package-specific info:

I removed it because it was not related to the system for which I report the 
issue.
