The first option is what we have now. It needs to be done once per
release and maintenance is a matter of modifying new Debian patches
when they come out.

The second option means we'd have to mold linux-libre into Debian
packages and stay of top of security issues ourselves.

Both are a lot of work, but the second is more work than the first. Our
current implementation is imperfect (e.g. r8169 doesn't work), but I
don't see the advantage of choosing the second option.
