Bug Description

The package currently ships version 4.95 of the firmware for the af9015 chipset.

There is a more recent version (5.1) available for example from http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/af9015/5.1.0.0/ or via http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware

Cannot confirm whether 5.1 is better or worse than 4.95.

I see dvb-usb-ec168.fw is not include (doc.ubuntu-fr.org/ec168 and http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/ec168/dvb-usb-ec168.fw), maybe it can be included, but i need probably open a separate bugreport..
