This is most probably not a perfect solution, but several bugs/installation reports have shown that this will become a wide-spread problem, and therefore this is better than nothing IMO. And yes, developers are always able to help themselves, but we should also think about users and newbies. > >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.

I have tested this, and therefore I know, that the above is not true: if you have said YES to the question, if non-free sources should be activated, you can add such firmware packages from non-free here, and they will get installed.
