It is using the similar appstream, and firmware packages are expected to
populate it with the relevant information.  I believe requiring apt-file
in addition will increase the disk foot print too much, and slow down
'apt update' too much to be the default setup.

The 'appstreamcli what-provides firmware:runtime ipw2100-1.3-p.fw'
command is supposed to return the relevant package as registered in
appstream.  Is it not working?  If so, the fix need to be done in the
firmware package.
