Package: general The average user will not notice his firmware is not updating any more.
Some users, if they do $ apt-show-versions |grep 'No available version in archive' will see firmware-amd-graphics:all 20221214-3 installed: No available version in archive firmware-brcm80211:all 20221214-3 installed: No available version in archive... And if they check /var/lib/apt/lists/*_debian_dists_unstable_non-free_i18n_Translation-en.diff_Index will notice something funny happened... 137480 T-2023-01-30-2019.16-F-2023-01-14-1406.12 137194 T-2023-01-30-2019.16-F-2023-01-14-2004.08 137161 T-2023-01-30-2019.16-F-2023-01-16-0203.33 137036 T-2023-01-30-2019.16-F-2023-01-16-2003.44 73251 T-2023-01-30-2019.16-F-2023-01-18-2013.57 73217 T-2023-01-30-2019.16-F-2023-01-19-2008.34 72676 T-2023-01-30-2019.16-F-2023-01-20-2016.02 So he must do Google Search. https://www.google.com/search?q=debian+firmware+non-free which leads to https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware which says ...a new repository component non-free-firmware... So that means he needs to add it to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ Ah ha! Yes, he should be regularly subscribed to debian-user, but that's too much. Or https://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/, but that's too many boring messages too. Yes, he uses apt-listchanges, but that won't tell him this. So I'm saying that Debian needs a mechanism to have his computer tell him to do this. Maybe the next time he uses apt*, somehow the system should tell him...
