It would be nice to have a fully libre distro for riscv cpus.

I agree!

My initial look into it suggested that, like armhf and aarch64, we'd
need a separate image for each riscv64 board.  I eventually found this¹
page for installing Debian on the StarFive VisionFive1 board (limited
run, poorly supported upstream), which suggested that the vendor u-boot
image should be able to load an EFI image and boot that way.

Playing with this is high on my todo list.
