I (now) even think 'recommends' is too strong, 'suggests' is (still) fine I 
guess for firmware-brcm80211 and bluez-firmware (partly due to its small size).
But firmware-misc-nonfree uses 40MB (with f.e. nvidia firmware).
FTR: firmware-brcm80211 package uses 17MB

While those packages may be useful for some RPi models, it is useless bloat 
for others. Adding (some of) those to the image generation scripts, which can 
differentiate between RPi models, seems more appropriate.
