How about adding the firmware files to an existing BD ISO by means of
xorriso ?

  xorriso -indev debian-11.2.0-amd64-DLBD-1.iso \
  -outdev my-firmware-11.2.0-amd64-DLBD-1.iso \
  ... add firmware files at suitable position in ISO tree ... \
  -boot_image any replay \
  ... jigdo production options ...

or like in
  https://wiki.debian.org/RepackBootableISO
(without removing the jigdo options, of course).

How difficult would it be to use such added firmware when the ISO is
booted ?
(I remember that, a few years ago, some Debian ISO had an appended
partition for storing firmware files, which were to be used when the ISO
was booted from a USB stick.)

I offer help with the xorriso part. But the Debian installer part would
need other experts.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas

I'm afraid you're out of luck. We don't provide firmware-included
versions of every media type, just netinst and DVD.

For that, you'll need a full local mirror and use debian-cd. The best
place to look for guidance would be our build scripts, if you can
follow them:

Ummm. What files are you expecting? I can see
firmware-edu-11.2.0-amd64-BD-1* in place, similarly to the
firmware-edu-11.1.0-amd64-BD-1.* that we did for 11.1 (etc.)
