While this looks like complicated to package independently, the firmwares are available in http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/ Could they thus not be included as-is in firmware-free or at least firmware-non-free ? (ccing kernel team for this question) It would be a first step and a big service for users who opted to buy such freedom-respecting devices.
