This sounds a bit confusing to me, E.G. like these are non default
locations.

Perhaps we should instead write:

variable, unless the package installs binary blobs outside the default
locations, which are `/lib/firmware`, `/usr/lib/firmware`,
`/lib/modules` and '/usr/share`, as these locations are automatically
excluded.

We don't really document this as a pattern (even if it gets passed to ~=
in the end), so perhaps it would be clearer to say [ -i PATH ]?

Otherwise it looks good to me, thanks!
