It depends on what has changed. As an example, if you were to look at
what Trisquel does, they have modified the deblob scripts to catch
additional things that Canonical has added to Ubuntu's kernels that
don't come in the one from kernel.org.

deblob-check may be useful here, but I think it would ultimately need
manual investigation.

[GNU-linux-libre] Using the Linux Liberation Scripts

[Gpast_panama]

Hi!
In regards to the Linux de-blobbing scripts published by the FSFLA, are the 
blobs/blobbed files hard-coded or detected at run-time? What modifications 
would typically be required to port it to an alternative kernel tree, if the 
former? A user at the Trisquel fora 
(https://trisquel.info/en/forum/free-pda-running-jmp?page=1#comment-120157) 
managed to get the scripts for 4.2 to run on the sunxi-based PocketChip kernel 
(with some poking and prodding), but neither of us know for certain if this is 
sufficient to produce a blob-free kernel.
