Although I like the idea of easing the installation process a lot, I would 
still object against it. The firmware blurb is non-free and if we want to got 
hat way, we would need to say so in the debconf question. I am very much in 
favour of providing a working getweb script (or maybe an own one) and 
explaining the use in a manpage and in the README.Debian file.
Sorry for that.
By the way, it would be nice to know, if the current foo2zjs in experimental 
is working, because I would like to update the current unstable version and 
get something working into testing.
 
Cheers
