just chiming in to clarify that Parabola actually uses Linux-libre as
provided by the FSFLA. they're the ones maintaining and running the
deblob script and we just grab their pre-cleaned sources. needless to
say, nothing prevents you or us from applying the script to linux
mainline ourselves.

i'm not familiar with Debian, but i've heard a number of times that
their kernel (and rest of the system indeed) is also equally clean by
default.
