Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Ran apt update after brand new install, using iso from website.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Apt complained about firmware and nonfree-firmware.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Default configuration seems fine; apt should not complain.
