Yes :-/ > Anyway, Marc, so thanks for your patch.

That was my thought -- whether flash-kernel would ignore the DT if it wasn't present in the kernel package or if it would fail? We want to support upgrading flash-kernel without upgrading the kernel, or if you want to downgrade your kernel for some reason, so it needs to cope gracefully. We probably do need some sort of relationship between the kernel image and f-k though such that f-k gets upgraded at the same time. Since we don't have a dependency (because some platforms don't need/use f-k) what should that relationship be? Does a Breaks do the trick?
