Subject: [PATCH] Fixup deb-pkg target to generate separate firmware deb.

The below is a simplistic fix for "make deb-pkg"; it splits the firmware
out to a linux-firmware-image package and adds an (unversioned) Suggests
to the linux package for this firmware.

Frans, does this solve your problem in an acceptable manner?
