control: tags -1 + confirmed patch
I disagree that this is a policy violation; the cause of error is
clearly reported. Not sure how the script could be more resilient when
a remote resource has disappeared:
Setting up firmware-b43-installer (1:019-13) ...
No chroot environment found. Starting normal installation
No known supported Broadcom 802.11 chips found.
No supported device found.
But firmware is installed unconditionally
Trying to install latest firmware 6.30.163.46 .

I did find a mirror of the files on GitHub at
https://github.com/minios-linux/b43-firmware/releases with matching
SHA512 sums. I think an easy fix would be to point the install script
to GitHub, which is probably more reliable long-term.
