Bug #1035382 seems to be the _actual_ bug for this. Sorry if I mailed in the wrong bug report!

Let's try to get this fixed before 12.1... I can see that there is already #1035382 open on the live side, let's bump the severity on that. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com “Why do people find DNS so difficult?

Bug#1032071: ARM firmware packages included in amd64 installation images
Package: debian-cd Version: 3.2.0 Severity: minor debian-bookworm-DI-alpha2-amd64-netinst.iso includes firmware packages for ARM platforms: firmware-qcom-soc firmware-samsung firmware-ti-connectivity raspi-firmware These packages add 34 MB to the ISO image, which is not negligible. Additionally, IIUC the installer only needs firmware for storage, network/wireless and sound devices. It uses generic graphic drivers for display so it does not need GPU firmware. The netinst image includes firmware packages which do not seem to be needed by the installer: bluez-firmware (Bluetooth) dahdi-firmware-nonfree (VoIP) firmware-amd-graphics (GPU) firmware-ast (GPU) firmware-ivtv (MPEG codec) firmware-realtek-rtl8723cs-bt (Bluetooth) firmware-siano (TV receiver) hdmi2usb-fx2-firmware (?) Among them, firmware-amd-graphics takes 12 MB. Is it useful to include these packages in the netinst image ? Couldn't they be downloaded from a mirror like other ordinary packages when needed ? Note: it also includes firmware-linux-nonfree which is a meta-package not containing any firmware file.
