Control: tags -1 patch > Please provide a proper patch for firmware-nonfree to replace the > currently included firmware with a dependency. I couldn't figure out how to add a Recommends or a dependency; that templates are used to generate the control file seems to limit this. In any case I've sent an MR for firmware-linux-free to get the Recommends and would appreciate review of that.
Here's a patch for the removal from non-free firmware-atheros.
