scripts/package/builddeb is used to create Debian packages.
Currently the firmware package always gets the same version number
irrespective of the Kernel version.
The paths inside the firmware package depend on the Kernel
version.

With the patch supplied the Kernel version becomes part of the
Debian firmware package number.
Ben, Max, is this how the official linux-firmware-image package is built
in Debian? The change makes sense to me.
but since builddeb is already doing so, and the generated package
installs files in /lib/firmware/$version, it would make sense to include
$version in the package name.
acked by me too.
Added to kbuild.git#misc now.
