Bug description:
  Today I tried my Hauppauge Ministick DVB-T tuner (2040:c000) with
  Kaffeine, but it didn't recognized it. Lookig at /var/log/dmesg I saw
  these lines:

  I looked for some additional driver in software-properties, but I only
  saw the additional drivers for my Graphic Video Card and my wifi card,
  and nothing about the tv tuner

  So i tried to install linux-firmware-nonfree, and then it started to
  work.

  I think we should add this tuner to the list in software-properties, shouldn't we? If not the fact it doesn't work when plugging it in and doesn't notify you the need to install some additional software may be confusing for a normal user
