The scripts for downloading the post-build firmware were moved to the
separate dahdi-firmware package (sadly it has not made it into the
archive yet). As the firmware files are not distributable I ended up
just including the firmwares/ directory . That package is intended for
non-free anyway (it includes the xpp firmwares)

I included a script in that package to download and install the digium
firmwares (a glorified make -C).

  /usr/share/dahdi/get-digium-firmware
