Hi,

tools/generate_firmware_patterns has a workaround for the firmware-sof-signed
package that doesn't ship appstream/dep-11 metadata. There, we list a bunch of
IDs manually extracted from linux-image-<ABI>-amd64, and that list can become
outdated over time.

It might be best to get the latest kernel at build time and generate e a fresh
list for each build.

Failing that, we really should update the list at least once for each major
Debian release.


Cheers,
