Not every sunxi board actually supports FEL, does it? or at least, some
may be missing buttons to enable and such?

I'm wondering if u-boot shouldn't just take advantage of executable
debhelper files or arch-specific debhelper files and simplify
debian/rules considerably...
It still gets into issues of which targets to build for which platforms,
although I think it's neelessly shipping some targets in the binaries,
when they are merely targets used to generate the SPL/MLO files...
I'll give it a whirl.
