I was expecting something along those lines indeed. TBH I'm expecting 
the person who submitted #1076725 and #1076726 to work on that, 
especially as I don't own any hardware d-i images could target using 
those packages.

No, that one would be straight ath9k on x86, so neither of those 
packages should be required. The first target that comes to mind is 
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Thinkpad/X13s and other 
similar WoA laptops/tablets.
