Isn't this more or less exactly what ${nonarch_baselib_dir} is for? If
there's some disconnect between firmware and other users of that
variable (mostly mdev/udev/systemd I guess) then maybe we should
introduce a separate ${firmware_loader_dir} or something. But either
way, it seems fairly clear that the right thing is to simply have a
variable that the distro can set to the right place, and then have both
do_install() and FILES defined in terms of that same variable, rather
than doing some sort of subsequent post-processing step that tries to
move the contents around and then patch FILES up to match.
