Just a thought:

gNewSense is based on Debian too, and it seems to do much much more work than
just drop the nonfree repos (same for Trisquel with its base distro ubun7u). I
don't know the details, but I do wonder whether just dropping repos and using a
libre kernel is enough. Maybe it is, and then I wonder why gNewSense does all
that other work. If that work is needed, you puri.sm people should probably do
the same thing...

Or just give Trisquel to your users, which is a great stable distro and I think
it's an excellent default for new people joining the free software community
and taking the GNU path.
