 Adding debian-live@ for information. 
  
 TL;DR: For images generated by live-build, firmware lookup cannot rely 
 on Contents-firmware files (apparently not generated, I didn't check 
 myself), which leads to using a fallback that's currently buggy (lack of 
 support for /usr/lib/firmware in hw-detect's list_deb_firmware). 
  
 We're looking into fixing the latter, but you might want to address the 
 former as well? In which case, some debian-cd.git pointers:
