Hi,

Thanks.  This patch does many things at once instead of the usual
practice of "one patch per logical change", but oh well.

Micronit: any reason the lines are reordered here?

I personally like to spell it as "Git". ;-)

I assume you mean Breaks+Replaces.  Do the files actually overlap,
or is this change being overly cautious?  I would expect the files
not to overlap because the package build with deb-pkg puts firmware
in a versioned subdirectory "/lib/firmware/<version>".

Hope that helps,
