This appears to only affect kernels that include the firmware. our new gnewsense packages produce:

Setting up linux-base (2.6.32-35+gnewsense1) ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Setting up linux-image-2.6.32-5+gnewsense1-686-bigmem (2.6.32-35+gnewsense1) ...
Running depmod.
Running update-initramfs.
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5+gnewsense1-686-bigmem
Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.

not sure if this should be resolved incase people install tainted kernels or not - thoughts?

This is during an upgrade of a squeeze system:

[...]
Setting up linux-base (2.6.32-34squeeze1) ...
Setting up linux-image-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (2.6.32-34squeeze1) ...
Running depmod.
Running update-initramfs.
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw for module r8169
[...]

We have to check if these same errors appear running linux-libre, or if its an initramfs-tools ting.

The output is from hook-functions in that package.
