But then, you also get loads of modules for which you don't have hardware if you install a linux-image-* package... I'd agree with Bastian that avoiding unnecessary package fragmentation is good. In theory, you could even go so far as to lump together are wireless drivers in one binary package, though it probably makes sense to keep drivers separate if they have dependencies on other packages in the archive.
