Yes, I've deliberately excluded those from our userland package partly because the userland package has to have a common source for both armhf and arm64 in Ubuntu, but mostly because I knew that would complicate the MIR (closed-source stuff generally can't go into main so at that point we'd have a package which would wind up in restricted because of two minor binaries when the other 20+ were all open).

Once everything else we need for the new seeds (rpi-eeprom, userland, pi-bluetooth, linux-firmware-raspi2 into main, + some gadget work) is done I can look at getting the closed source bits into another package, but I rather doubt it'll make it into groovy at this time.
