So, I suppose this requires an entirely new udeb, meant to install firmware for hardware such as video cards, etc. and run it at the end of the install process. The current packages such as hwdetect are meant to run at the beginning of the process, when it's needed to detect wireless cards or disk drives. ....and when nobody really cares about video cards. Just a wild guess: I know nearly nothing about all this crap..:-)
