Hello, This firmware was used by slugs or NSLU-2, https://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install/
Those devices were great to bootstrap and play with armel port. Due to low ram and flash it is no longer capable to run Debian. Therefore I agree this package can be marked for removal. Userland package was removed time ago: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/nslu2-utils Regards
