[Pkg-raspi-maintainers] Bug#1055901: raspi-firmware: postinst fails, makes bad assumption about existence of /boot/firmware/

[Hilmar Preusse]

Package: raspi-firmware
Version: 1:1.20231024+ds-1+rpt1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 6.4

Hello,

the package fails to install on my system. I simply assumes that /boot/firmware is a
mount point and fails if this is not the case. If /boot/firmware is expected to be a
mount point the installer should have created it. The system was once installed as
bullseye and later upgraded to bookworm.
