There have been a few bug reports about this in the past but I don't remember seeing a reply.
Here's mine: https://bugs.debian.org/1012865 It would be really unfortunate to release bookwork in this state, we are going one step forward with non-free-firmware and two steps backwards with this change, it underestimates how many users are dual booting Debian and I foresee lots of people not bothering with it (they'll just use something else, especially new users).
