Providing (armhf) u-boot images together with d-i images?

Hello, several armhf systems do not have u-boot (or another firmware) in non-volatile (i.e. ROM/Flash) memory, but instead store their system firmware on a removable medium such as an SD card. In many cases the user does not receive a suitable firmware medium when buying the hardware, because the
