"i firmware-linux-nonfree Depends firmware-misc-nonfree" means that firmware-
linux-nonfree is installed, and depends on firmware-misc-nonfree, which is
therefore the reason why firmware-misc-nonfree is itself installed.

It reduces the question instead to "why is firmware-linux-nonfree installed?"
