I just recalled coming back home that you can do this from the initial
install.
http://wiki.debian.org/Firmware
There is a link on that page to download a gziped tarball of
firmware. Just save it to a usb stick and have in plugged in before
the install starts. The installer will then find the needed firmware
and load it, then build the initrd image to include it. I just had to
do this on a laptop a couple of weeks ago. The intel wireless
wouldn't work without the firmware blob.
Still end up with a non DFSG system...
