I'd been labouring under the impression that the installer had 
knowledge about the freeness of all the firmware files it was offering 
to install and so it offered to install firmware files knowing they were 
non-free.  However, the problem described in that email seems to be 
simply a bad message string where the author assumed that user-supplied 
firmware files would only ever be non-free and described them as such.

That's quite a different and much simpler issue whose solution is just 
a matter of updating a message string.  It raises no questions about 
concealing files.
