thanks

I'm also seeing this bug with Broadcom device 14e4:4727. For the first
time, the package refuses to install. (It worked OK in version
1:014-4)

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
Setting up firmware-b43-installer (1:014-5) ...
Unsupported device(s) found: PCI id 14e4:4727 
Aborting.
dpkg: error processing firmware-b43-installer (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
 status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 firmware-b43-installer

Why does this package refuse to install when it encounters an
unsupported device anyway? Is there a possibility of screwing things
up by loading the wrong software?

Instad of aborting, install the firmware anyway, but spit out a
nonfatal information message saying that the device is unsupported (or
supported by one of the other Broadcom firmware packages in Debian).
