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
