[Pkg-raspi-maintainers] Bug#1014865: Bug#1014865: raspi-firmware dependencies

[Jiri Kastner]

firmware-misc-nonfree i added because it adds some blobs to /lib/firmware/brcm:

$ dpkg -S /lib/firmware/brcm/*.hcd
firmware-misc-nonfree: /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM-0a5c-6410.hcd
firmware-misc-nonfree: /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM-0bb4-0306.hcd
bluez-firmware: /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43430A1.hcd
bluez-firmware: /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43430B0.hcd
bluez-firmware: /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM4345C0.hcd
bluez-firmware: /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM4345C5.hcd

just checked on amd64 and arm64, that those files are probably not needed by any kernel module
explicitly, but probably requested by btusb module.

maybe another subpackage - bluez-firmware-nonfree

another solution raspi-wireless-firmware and raspi3-wireless-firmware subpackages
(maybe also raspi-bluetooth-firmware/raspi3-bluetooth-firmware)
