 So the hwpack doesn't transport the files anymore? It seems to be the
 wrong thing to encourage

 Perhaps we could support looking up files in the hwpack tarball, or in
 a .deb in the hwpack tarball even if that isn't installed; e.g.
 startfiles.cfg would point at hwpack://xyz.bin or at
 hwpack+deb://xyz-files.deb/boot/xyz.bin?
