At least some of the free software in multiverse is there due to patent issues which aren't a problem for Trisquel, so writing which packages are in multiverse and could be included here could be useful. Debian has in main packages licensed under the original Artistic License which is considered non-free by FSF and Fedora, but not by Debian. So it won't be so simple. The kernel in Debian shows the name of the non-free firmware files included in other packages which would be used by the drivers, thus recommending using them. Linux-libre doesn't do it.
