Bug Description
Ubuntu archive please promote broadcom-sta from multiverse to restricted.
After that's done and migrates, we will be able to remove bcmwl from the archive.
---
broadcom-sta & bcmwl are duplicates of each other.
One is packaged and maintained by archlinux/debian the other one was our self packaged one.
We should merge the two.
On the surface the source code is the same, there is slightly better dkms packaging on the broadcom-sta package. However it is missing modaliases stanzas.
I think we should port the modaliases to the new package, and remove the old one.
