Marco d'Itri writes (Re: packaging a tiny/trivial blob in a DFSG-clean way?):
This is an old issue which is well established, widely agreed and
does not really need to be discussed again. The facts are:
- if the source and the tools to build them are in Debian, then
there is no DFSG issue

But I'm still a bit, well, uncomfortable to ship the blobs,
even if the source is available and it is verified on buildds
during package build on corresponding architectures.
Allowing such packaging may act as a bad example in the future.
In qemu package there's a source file, pc-bios/spapr-rtas/spapr-rtas.S,
which is an PPC assembly file with exactly 5 instructions:
#define KVMPPC_HCALL_BASE 0xf000
#define KVMPPC_H_RTAS (KVMPPC_HCALL_BASE + 0x0)
.globl _start
_start:
mr 4,3

This file is also included in the upstream source in compiled
form, as pc-bios/spapr-rtas.bin. This is because it needs
ppc assembler to compile, and not every system out there has
this tool ready available.

Well, in that case we can ship alot more .bin files from qemu
sources too, and build these on corresponding architecturs like
already mentioned (to verify the result is still the same).
