Up to a certain point, I guess. But users do get confused by Debian, a
stubbornly-free distribution, having multiple images –some official,
some unblessed– on different places.
Maybe if the free image finds (important? i.e. the only connectivity
option, or required for enabling a video card beyond framebuffer?)
hardware for which firmware is required, it could display a prominent
message, suggesting the user to download the
official-but-firmware-carrying images from a simple debian.org URL.
