Bug Description

Binary package hint: b43-fwcutter

As mentioned in the changelog:

    install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh does a tar xfvj

But, the package installation will *fail* if bzip2 is not installed on the system.

According to the debian policy:
"The Depends field should also be used if the postinst, prerm or postrm scripts require the package to be present in order to run."

Ubuntu installs recommends by default now, so I don't think this is an issue anymore.
