[Pkg-raspi-maintainers] Bug#1040485: raspi-firmware breaks kernel upgrade

Package: raspi-firmware
Severity: serious
Justification: 6

Dear Maintainer,


I tried to upgrade the kernel today( bookworm amd64), and it failed because of raspi-firmware scripts. I had to rm manually files and purge raspi-firmware so that the kernel can complete the install. The messy removal is a second agravating problem.

The package was included accidentally in the live CD for amd64. This problem affect every one that installed with the live CD.
