Well, if someone understands the concept of firmware packages and that they need
to be installed (and is using expert mode), they will also be able to install
those packages on a second console.
Also, the packages will only be available if you use the non-free installer images
which are not the ones we are shipping by default. So if someone uses the default
DFSG-compliant images, they won't be able to install firmware-amd-graphics and
so on.
