K. I guess I'm just raising it so we're aware of it. It's not exactly
a loss, but my fear is that once we make it possible for someone else

Better option might be another directory which appears first on udev's
(and mkinitrd's) search patch. That way you can override firmware
without having to split the package.
And that of course is a nicer fix, yeah, then people can have their own
per-device firmware package if they choose to do so. Coolness.
Yeah, something like /lib/firmware/updates/ sounds gravy. I was initially
thinking we could have a kernel-firmware package that was a meta-package,
pulling in umpteen individual firmware packages (a la xorg-x11-drivers), but I
like this idea better.
