Ok, great... Thanks for the info!

Totally agree. What I still don't know (and am trying to figure out) is where
it is decided what will end up in the install media.

Like, using this issue as an example, why isn't the firmware package there? If
it's due to the no-recommends thing... Where is it that we set "no-recommends"
in such a way that is has this effect?

Is it, perhaps, here:

?
