Package: release-notes Severity: important Starting from Squeeze, non-free Linux firmware has been moved to non-free. This is a great achievement for Debian!
Still, we should take care that the poor users that are forced to use non-free firmware, as they own hardware for which no DFSG-free firmware exists, know how to install Debian on their machines. To that end, the release notes should probably document this change, especially in the part concerning installation from scratch (documenting where images with firmware can be found), but also for upgrades, as people might be forced to change their APT configuraiton to get the firmware they need. In doing so, we should take care of reminding what is part of Debian and what is not, as it has consequences on support. I'd be happy to comment/review on draft text, although I don't have time right now to draft a text from scratch right now (sorry about that). Many thanks for maintaining the release notes!
