Hmm. I don't see why we should make a distinction between sourceless firmware that is part of the upstream kernel and sourceless firmware that comes with other packages.

After Etch such firmware should also follow the outcome of the discussion I'm advocating. > Other than that, I think you're getting us close to a working summary > of reality. :-) Thanks :-)
