I completely agree that firmware-brcm80211 is the right place and
raspi-firmware is the wrong place as this is about firmware for wifi
devices which are f.e. also used on Pine64 devices.
It doesn't make sense to install the raspi-firmware on those non-RPi
devices and AFAIK the package also makes assumptions about being run
*on* a RPi (with a /boot/firmware dir?), so it may even fail
installation on non-RPi devices.
So hereby the request to do and coordinate the move of those firmware
files to the firmware-brcm80211 package, which likely will need to be
coordinated with a Breaks/Replace construct.
It would be great if it could be done ASAP, but at least before the
Bookworm release.
TIA,
Diederik

While I now do have those files in ``/lib/firmware/brcm/`` it caused various
error which will only go away if I uninstall this package again.
And as expected, at least the assumption that ``/boot/firmware`` is present
(and being a mountpoint?) is incorrect, which causes the package installation
to fail, but it seems to also break any kernel related actions?
So I've increased the severity to 'serious'.

It's even worse, it looks like I CAN'T uninstall the package (using normal
tools; will likely try ``dpkg -f`` to brute force it later), so it's also
breaking unrelated software, hence further increase to 'critical'.
