Broadcom firmware not copied to updated kernels (Ubuntu 7.10 beta)

Bug Description

Every time I update the "linux-image-*' package, my bcm43xx_* firmware in /lib/firmware/2.6.22-<previous> doesn't get copied over to the new kernel, so my wireless card doesn't work on reboot. I have to manually copy over the firmware in order for it to work. I understand that it's proprietary firmware, but I have chosen to enable the firmware through restricted-drivers-manager and thus it should copy the firmware over for me during an update of the kernel.
