   Perfect, thank you!   
      
   I can now also confirm that the boot failures I reported in #1118261 are due to   
   the mali firmware which was not getting shipped. I am thus raising the severity   
   of this bug to RC and merge the other one into this one.   
      
   Until this fix gets uploaded we are shipping a hotfix in our own repositories:   
   https://source.mnt.re/reform/reform-debian-packages/-/commit/                    
   0947565403d2acd607eade57692bf4916a493c2b   
      
   Do you know of a mechanism which would allow to find broken symlinks in the   
   firmware-nonfree packages automatically in the future and abort the build if   
   found? Lintian does not show broken symlinks because it cannot know whether the   
   files maybe come from another package. Should the script generating the install   
   files gain this feature or maybe a script can be added that is run after   
   dh_installdeb which analyzes the generated binary packages? This problem was   
   very frustrating for users on Debian unstable on the affected platforms as   
   without being able to login, recovery is hard for users who are not very   
   tech-savvy. And it also took me 3 hours before I found out that it was the   
   changes firmware-misc-nonfree which resulted in gdm not showing up. I had   
   suspected some changes in gnome, gtk, gsettings or whatnot but not this   
   package. :D   
      
   Thanks!   
      
   cheers, josch
