The only thing which would be needed, imho, is a central point to easily
download firmwares you need. Some place which would be advertised in the
documentation.


Uh, but, wait. Isn't that the point of:

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch06s04.html “Loading
firmwares”, which points to:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/lenny/current/firmware.tar.gz

Wow, nice.
