Upgraded my Chimaera desktop machine (installed from 20210426 alpha

So far so good but I should mention that I have a rather parsimonious
setup, only 66 manually installed packages with their (Pre)Depends:
only, no wireless, no desktop (just a windowmanager, i3), for a grand
total of 651 Daedalus packages installed.

Now I need to find time to reinstall my Minifree Libreboot T400 with
Chimaera. That was installed way back using Devuan's beta2 netinst ISO
(201601123-13:47) for jessie and upgraded to ASCII and later Beowulf.
