How about just using the package management system? Make all binary drivers depend on a metapackage called binary-drivers and make that conflict with another metapackage, an "antipackage" called no-binary-drivers?
apt-get install no-binary-drivers and Bob's your uncle -- no YAF*buntu needed.

apt-get install no-binary-drivers

Hmm, if you remove dpkg's common-sense particle, you could do "apt-get install binary-drivers no-binary-drivers".
