There are three Debian bug reports about the removal of cs46xx firmware: bug 455092 in linux-2.6 bug 464197 in linux-image-2.6.24-1-686 bug 468151 in linux-source-2.6.24
So far, bug 464197 has got the greatest number of messages. I think it would be good to concentrate future discussions there. I'll leave it for the kernel team to decide whether and how to merge the bug reports.
