Public bug reported:
The corresponding kernel package (linux-raspi) was already renamed away
from linux-raspi2; the same should happen for this firmware package.
Several suggestions have been made of how this should be accomplished,
including adding it as a binary package to the linux-firmware source
package. However, in the course of figuring out how to accomplish this
move (which is complicated by the fact the package uses diversions, and
will probably always need to), I think the simplest move at the moment
is simply to introduce a new linux-firmware-raspi source package derived
from this one, and follow the usual transitional package route of
https://wiki.debian.org/RenamingPackages
