Package: linux-wlan-ng-firmware
Version: 0.2.9+dfsg-4
Severity: wishlist


$ aptitude show linux-wlan-ng-firmware
    This package doesn't contain the firmware files, but a script to download the
    upstream source tarball and build a deb that contains them.

OK, but may I suggest that you mention where in a README file.

One otherwise ends up poking around to see if installing also downloads
the files, like prism2-usb-firmware-installer does.

   For newer kernels (2.6.31+) which have the in-tree prism2_usb driver, you can install
   the prism2-usb-firmware-installer package instead.

OK, then perhaps a Conflicts: or Replaces: should be added to the
package control stanza.
