Bug Description
xserver-
The problem hasn't manifested because many people have linux-firmware already installed due to other dependencies. However I do not believe that is a proper reason to leave the dependencies of this package broken in purpose, especially when this is trivial to fix. For example people running their own custom kernels wouldn't have the firmware package pulled in at all (and please don't go and say that only power users do that and power users don't matter).

* debian/control: Suggest linux-firmware rather than firmware-linux.
The latter is only in Debian.
