The "WHENCE" file is >300K and included as %license in all kernel-firmware-*
packages:

/usr/share/licenses/kernel-firmware-usb-network/WHENCE
/usr/share/licenses/kernel-firmware-ueagle/WHENCE
/usr/share/licenses/kernel-firmware-ti/WHENCE

This could be optimized by moving common files into a separate package or maybe
not shipping this at all. I'm not sure whether the info inside is actually
necessary, it mostly just links to the actual license files?
