Bug #1958518 “Split linux-firmware into multiple packages” : Bugs : linux-firmware package : Ubuntu

The linux-image-generic package depends on linux-firmware which is over half a gigabyte in size installed. I will assume that quite many people do not have netronome hardware which weighs in at almost 150MB of that. I kindly suggest to put such large firmware for less common hardware into its own linux-firmware-extra package which would be recommended by linux-firmare. Comments? I'm willing to help with the packaging provided that the changes have a chance to land.
