It should do the job. Note that since you're only using one copy of the
bumps normal, there's no need to translate the texture by a random amount.

Also, I'm not sure whether the average normal_map construct will give
you the desired result, or whether you should instead use a sequence of
`normal` statements. See tutorial section 2.3.5.2.2, "Blending Normals".
