[Bug 1717232] [NEW] RM: duplicate package

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

u-boot-linaro appears to be a fork of u-boot with some extra patches
which has not been updated for amolst 5 years now.

Even if there are outstanding features in u-boot-linaro that are not
present in u-boot package, these changes should be rebased and added to
the u-boot package, preferably upstream, or in debian, or in the ubuntu
delta.


please rm u-boot-linaro, this will put us one step closer to removing gcc-4.7 from the archive.

** Affects: u-boot-linaro (Ubuntu)
