Just to tackle this, for you or other interested people:
Easiest way to find out which package contains xxx file, is to install
apt-file.
sudo apt install apt-file
apt-file update (to update it's database)
then you search for a file:
~$ apt-file search i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin
firmware-misc-nonfree: /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin
Other packages are firmware-atheros and firmware-realtek.
Also, to check what non-free or contrib packages you have installed:
sudo apt install vrms
$ vrms
Thanks Piotr, that was handy. Now that I realize these are not
free software, I will not be installing them. Interestingly, running
$ vrmstold me that while I don't have non-free, I do have a lone contrib
package - torbrowser-launcher. Not sure how this ended up this way, since I
never enabled contrib (or non-free) in the sources.list
