Debian-wide firmware prober
Hey everybody, wouldn't it be nice if there was a prober, like lshw, that probed all the firmware one needed? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982402 It would say: " You need the following Debian firmware packages firmware-X firmware-Y firmware-Z Remember, a proper system needs proper firmware. Not too much, but also not too little. "
Bug#934413: .debs are old fashioned. e.g., Google Play makes smaller updates
Package: general Just the other day I noticed Google Play seems to make smaller updates than when installing an initial package. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1572812 So maybe instead of bulky .debs, Debian could do similar.

Bug#901003: There is no standard way of removing transitional / dummy packages
Package: general There is no standard way of removing transitional / dummy packages. One has to grep for the words transitional / dummy in their descriptions to find them. They should all have a standard Tag:. And the Debian documentation should mention what apt command will remove them.
