l-r-m contains some startup scripts and an executable. After reading http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ on speeding up boot time, it sounds like it would be a good idea to not have these files run on startup, but still be able to use ones Intel wireless card and dvb tuner, for example.

Could the firmware that is only firmware be packaged separately to the firmware that needs supporting scripts?
