Package: linux-image-4.17.0-1-amd64
Additional information:

I found below issue with recent Debian's official kernel package:

When building initramfs, for Debian's recent official kernel package
located firmwares to /usr/lib/firmware and symlink /usr/lib to /lib.
But, kernel wants to read firmwares from /lib , *and initial phase of 
kernel (maybe vmlinuz) don't understand symlink*.
So, amdgpu kernel module fails to read firmwares.

But,with homebrew kernel package (from vanilla and did "make deb-pkg"),
building initramfs, firmwares are located /lib/firmware directly.

I strange to understand why /lib/firmware moved to /usr/lib/firmware :-(
PLEASE FIX ASAP.
BEST REGARDS,
Ohta.
