While that probably works for most people, it isn't quite up to the level
that Debian expected formerly:

Anything before mountall, networking, and mountnfs.sh should not use paths
under /usr, because /usr could be a (possibly remote) mount.
Configuring /dev with something in /usr is particularly bad;
coincidentally, eudev was forked partly because systemd-udev started
complaining about configurations with a separate /usr.

On configuration files:
Roger Leigh would probably know the proper way to handle this.
You might try looking at the "microcode.ctl" package source, or sysvinit.
