[PVE-User] pve-firmware conflicts with lenny-backports packages

[Derek W. Poon]

pve-firmware 1.0-3 conflicts with the Debian packages firmware-linux-free and firmware-linux-nonfree of the lenny-backports repository.  It would be nice if you could either make use of the standard Debian packages, or mark pve-firmware as conflicting with or replacing the Debian packages so that APT can work properly.
