Very interesting discussion.

In light of new information I have a couple of questions related to debian-minimal:

  • By default debian-minimal has the following components in sources.list: main contrib non-free non-free-firmware. Assuming debian-minimal is used as a template for service qubes with attached PCI devices, and if one just wants to keep firmware for those PCI devices up-to-date, is it enough to enable just main non-free-firmware?
  • Assuming that attached PCI device is an Intel ethernet controller, is it enough to install just firmware-linux --no-install-recommends metapackage that would pull firmware-amd-graphics firmware-linux-free firmware-linux-nonfree frimware-misc-nonfree as dependencies?
