Title:
netronome firmware symlinks are overwritten by package upgrade
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The linux-firmware package includes symlinks to installed Netronome
firmware files. These links may be updated by a user but are
overwritten when the linux-firmware package is upgraded whereas the
desired behaviour is to leave existing symlinks unmodified.
