I don't know about meta-bug, but try 989539? 981087? you can complain there, but without a patch I don't see it helping. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=initramfs-tools-core;dist=unstable The way I see it, it's not a bug. Initramfs-tools is not responsible for deciding what firmware a specific device or machine needs. It is only reporting that a module to be included lists a firmware file as loadable, and that firmware wasn't able to be included when building the initramfs. It might be a decent idea to have a config option to turn the warning on and off. Since I'm not annoyed by it, I'm not really interested in doing the work. I think your real question is, "How can I make someone else do this with as little effort as possible on my part?" good luck, bw
