Better option might be another directory which appears first on udev's
(and mkinitrd's) search patch. That way you can override firmware
without having to split the package.
Cute hack that might get ugly later when the tarball is actually updated
with a newer version than the one in the 'special' directory leading to
all sorts of confusion about what version is loading..
But I am for the baby steps approach just to get a sense of how this going
to work properly.
Thanks for the effort.
