If the firmware doesn't exist as a standalone project, IMHO, it is
fine to bundle their sources with QEMU. If they move off into a
separate project some time in arbitrary future, they can be unbundled
at that point.

That we're not sure how to build some ROMS is exactly why
distros have their build everything from source policy !
