To follow the X Strike Force model (which seems to work) I suggest a
'prune-non-free' script, which should be shipped in the debian/ directory of
the source package .diff for convenience. This script would convert an
upstream source tree to a 'debian-clean' source tree.
I don't think we can do that. The source to the package has to be free.
The patches to remove non-free things and put them in non-free need to
applied to the vanilla kernel to make a Debian kernel source
(orig.tar.gz) and a non-free blob source.
