I think what you want is to quickly select firmware packages. Maybe
that's better done with having firmwares always prefix the package
name instead with "firmware-"?

Sound like a nice idea to me.

BTW, do we have a definite description of what a firmware is (and what not). Something like "A firmware is uploaded to the flash of a hardware device and executed there *and not* by the operating system on the host cpu"

Might be a good idea to write that or something similar down somewhere, to avoid that someone submits madwifi's HAL or similar cruft as firmware package.
