Package: update-reports
Severity: minor

Upgrade from lenny to squeeze otherwise as expected, except complaint
about not available firmware during upgrade. 

Without firmware for Intel Pro 100 ethernet card, it did not work.
This host is firewall, Intel card was towards internal network. So I
could access Internet but had to switch /etc/apt/sources.list back and
forth between install server from Internet and approx server in my
intranet. 

Again I was annoyed about the 3 line message that probably tries to be
helpful but nevertheless in no way helps me to figure out where to get
that missing firmware. Is it always the firmware-linux-nonfree
package? If yes, the info should advice to install that.

The message should tell you what file is missing, which you can look up
with apt-file or on packages.debian.org.

Thanks for the report, closing as I think the firmware thing is
addressed in the release notes and kernel packages' maintainer scripts.

Cheers,
Julien
