Usually one would use suffix like -dfsg to mark the repacked package. The -dfsg doesn't make sense in the case of a non-free package, so you can probably use -repack. More importantly I'm not sure that this package should be a part of Debian at all. I doubt that DI should touch these partitions. Firstly, because of the reasons I expressed in my previous email (risk of bricking the board, custom bootloaders being used on these devboards, etc). Secondly, I'd like to point out that RB3/RB5 (and other dragonboards) are in a pretty unique position. Other development boards (QRD, HDK, Open-Q, etc.) do not have public redistributable bootloader archives. -- With best wishes Dmitry
