Yes. I am sorry I did not.

One idea is to create a new isenkram-udeb with the relevant parts, and
make it a dependency of hw-detect, and either call
isenkram-autoinstall-firmware from hw-detect to install the wanted
firmware packages, or provide a script to list relevant firmware
packages and their sections for hw-detect to show to the user. Not
quite sure which approach is best. To install firmware in /target/, I
suspect using the tasksel tasks provided by isenkram-cli might be a good
approach, and for those to work we just need to install isenkram-cli in
/target/ before calling tasksel, so the need for an isenkram-udeb
package is only to handle firmware loading before creating /target/.
