Thanks Sven,
How about Debian FAQ? Shouldn't it mention non-free-firmware
* debian-faq package

fwiw I intend to have apt print a notice at the end of each
'apt(-get) update' call if certain conditions are met in bookworm.

Package: general
The average user will not notice his firmware is not updating any more.
Some users, if they do
$ apt-show-versions |grep 'No available version in archive'
will see
firmware-amd-graphics:all 20221214-3 installed: No available version in archive
firmware-brcm80211:all 20221214-3
