linux-image-* are free, the firmwares are not. i'd like to have only
minimal bits of non-free/binary-only stuff on my system.
however, this is just me.

no problem, so i'll merge firmware-iwl* to firmware-iwlwifi?
what about ipw2100, ipw2200 and ipw3945?
the first two ones require a interactive license agreement by the user
(like the one sun-java* packages have), the last one not. should i add
ipw2100/ipw2200 as individual packages, or would you prefere to have a
new single one for al ipw* firmwares?
