There was an announcement a few days ago, saying what to do.  Typically,
I cannot find it ATM.

However, you simply need to add;
   non-free-firmware
To the relevant part(s) of your sources.list file.

How you go about that may depend on what you use to do software updates.

Hi, I'm not running testing or sid, so I can't be sure, but I suggest to
start with this recent thread:
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/01/msg00706.html
followed by 'apt update'.

what do I need to add to my sources.list for the new non-free-firmware repository?

I've got a couple of Debian systems that (for various reasons) are running 
"testing" or "sid".  I recently did
 apt update && apt upgrade && aptitude search '~o'
on these machines and found that a number of firmware packages are considered 
"obsolete", presumably because they are no longer in any of the repositories 
listed in sources.list.

So what do I need to add to my sources.list file to get them back now?

Here's what I see:

root@kmac:~# aptitude search '~o'
i A  firmware-amd-graphics - Binary firmware for 
AMD/ATI graphics chips
i firmware-linux - Binary firmware 
for various drivers in the Linux kernel (metapackage) 
i A  firmware-linux-nonfree  - Binary firmware for 
various drivers in the Linux kernel (metapackage) 
i A  firmware-misc-nonfree  - Binary firmware for 
various drivers in the Linux kernel   
root@kmac:~# 

Any thoughts?
