atm, the kernel package is already shipping some dtbs (look at
linux-image-3.2.0-4-kirkwood), so it'll be the same for the
multiplatform case. As concerns the dts files, there has been some
discussions upstream to use a different place than the kernel source but
currently, device-tree is a too fast moving target to allow this.
