flash-kernel does this for some systems, but you are right that we
should consider having the kernel packages do it.

/usr/lib/linux-image-3.10-0.bpo.2-armmp/ is 860K, which I think is
probably a bit too large to just copy the whole lot over.

So the problem is how to determine which dtb is needed. The most obvious
solution would be to subsume a bunch of f-k functionality into the
kernel packages and offer a debconf prompt for systems which the db
doesn't know about.
