Hi René,

It is true that I am running a custom kernel, but the files I am talking
about are shipped upstream by linux-firmware anyways.

Of course this is not a urgent matter at all and it can wait after
Jessie becomes stable but, eventually, tracking what upstream ships is
the way to go when the licenses of the firmware files are compatible
with Debian.

Thanks,
   Antonio
