   Package: firmware-linux-free   
   Version: 3.4   
      
   It appears that the source package for firmware-linux-free contains the   
   firmware binaries downloaded from linux-firmware.git. Shouldn't a source   
   package contain, you know, the source code? Especially as some of the   
   firmwares are GPL-licensed, and Debian is shipping only the binaries.   
      
   In looking into other distros it seems that that most don't compile the   
   firmware from source either. As a result people don't notice when the tools   
   to do so break. For example: The as31 assembler needed to build the usbdux   
   firmware currently segfaults. Reference bug #887320.
