Bull. We are Debian, not fucking RedHat or Mandrake. We strive to exist without non-free software and using its existance as an excuse to make your packages far worse is a complete disgrace to the project. Linus doesn't support binary-only modules. He doesn't care about them. That's why they break. This attitude is good. We should ignore non-free software, or at least not give it enough attention to let it hurt the quality of our free software packages.
