Merge raspi-firmware without conflicting files. #5

This isn't strictly needed but would make the initial installation of firmware-brcm80211 in the Pi 5 image case stop requiring --force-overwrite, which would be a tad cleaner. We would also be ready to adjust if the raspi-firmware package was upgraded in Debian 12… Indeed, that would break upgrading on the Pi 5 (trying to reinstate files “stolen” by the newer firmware-brcm80211 package).

NO GO

If we do that, we probably lose wireless support on Pi 3/Pi 4 which would get this “cleaned up” raspi-firmware package (without firmware files) without getting the newer firmware-brcm80211 package from the Raspberry OS repository that ships the updated firmware files.

In the end it might be best to just accept having to use --force-overwrite initially when building the Pi 5 image.

Closing this pull request for the time being.
