Bug Description
Some of our images are now oversized again (since beta-2). linux-firmware is a good candidate for some diet, as it recently grew by 1 MB, is a whopping 27 MB (compressed) and contains tons of firmware. There might be some which do not have a corresponding driver in the kernel any more, and which we can drop.
