The package itself contains only firmware from linux-firmware but not all files already located in /lib/firmware are from linux-firmware (e.g. firmware-sof-signed). Thus, --delete effectively deletes all non-linux-firmware firmware, potentially messing everything up. This behavior does not finish the goal of "not to conflict with other packages".

Also, I am confused, why rsync was chosen to sync firmware instead of a symlink farm? 🤔
