I think that is actually the plan.

I cannot remember now where it was mentioned but hat's how it's supposed to be; the flasher (or actually the preparation process for the flasher) pulls the proprietary packages off your device and stores them on your computer. Then, at a later time when you need to do it, you complement the bits-pulled-from-the-device with the freely distributable part and flash the resulting image to the device.
