It's probably a good idea to consider building matching unofficial

installed and/or upgraded from the backports repository, be it to embed
them on the image, or to make them available to the installed system.
Ah, good catch. The code to force firmware inclusion will also need an
update to also use backports firmware when a backports kernel is
included. That should be really easy. In terms of config, we're
already building netinst and DVD#1 versions with firmware. We'll keep
that same config.

Yes, people will need them.
