So rather than ship the driver in contrib and the firmware in non-free, you're suggesting that the driver go in main and the firmware not be shipped at all, even though that reduces the functionality of the driver to "Error: no firmware found." That seems as clear a dependence as any other foo and foo-data package in the repository. -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
