So, a way to clarify that would be to amend:

"The installer must boot (if appropriate) and run on all primary
architectures from default live image, DVD, and boot.iso install media"

to read:

"The installer must boot (if appropriate) and run on all primary
architectures, with all system firmware types that are common on those
architectures, from default live image, DVD, and boot.iso install media"
