that's correct.

we prefer to add arch patches into it, but they're made for linux, not
linux-libre, so the deblob has to be made on build time.
how are other distros doing it?
the only problem i can find with this is that generating a source tarball will
include the unfree kernel tarball, because the deblob is made after obtaning
the sources, making us distribute unfree software. i'll look for a solution
asap (i'm the package maintainer).
