Currently, all of the modules and firmware output by
linux-restricted-modules are placed in a single package, which is about 1.5M
(deb) or 4-5M (installed) on i386.

So you are saying that if we include these drivers, each
linux-restricted-modules package would be 4.5M (deb), and there would also
be one (architecture-independent) firmware package of 1.3M?

The source should be included in the .orig.tar.gz, as the others are.  This
should be both simpler and more space-efficient.
