For those who didn't visit the Debian website recently, following the 
discussion on debian-devel this is now two clicks away from the home 
page (-> More... -> Download: More variants of Debian images):

https://www.debian.org/distrib/

    If any of the hardware in your system requires non-free firmware to 
    be loaded with the device driver, you can use one of the tarballs of 
    common firmware packages or download an unofficial image including 
    these non-free firmwares.
    
    Instructions how to use the tarballs and general information about 
    loading firmware during an installation can be found in the 
    Installation Guide.

    unofficial installation images for "stable" with firmware included


Kind regards,
Andrei
