[Bug 1337538] Re: arm64/xgene-uboot lacks u-boot-tools

[Scott Moser]

Oliver, I can do that. thats easy.
the problem is I dont know *when* to do that and when not to.

I expect that update-initramfs would do that for me.

telling people "if you install a package, another package will break
unless you set your environment to include FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP=true" is
not really any better than telling them "if you install a package,
another package will break".

Why can't update-initramfs (or flash-kernel, or whatever) decide at
runtime if it needs to invoke flash-kernel.

Possibly allow the user to set a config file /etc/config/flash-kernel to
override that logic, but by default do the right thing.
