Hopefully this should cover it, and there will no need to have 2 pages per thread, per instance.

It looks to have been recently fixed upstream.
(I am still not clear if you are blaming me, Rod or Roland Clobus)

Just a thought, if this still persists with the installer is there a way to check for the existence of the firmware and remove it if found during the stage when the installer on the ISO removed packages ?
I guess this would have to be a custom script, and a band aid type of fix. You know in case this beast raises its head again.
