Bug Description

The linux-firmware package cannot be installed at the same time with atmel-firmware, in that the package manager will remove one if you install the other. However, I need to use both -- the linux-firmware package does not provide all the files that the atmel-firmware package provides (more than half the files from atmel-firmware are not provided by linux-firmware), and I need those files for my atmel device to work. I also need firmware for other things from linux-firmware.

lunch - Given the age of these devices, I am inclined to remove atmel firmware from the linux-firmware package in favor of the Debian package atmel-firmware. Are you agreed ?
