Yeah, i will probably do that, still it is inconvenient, and like said, there

Forcing Colin or Joey to do extra work like this is hardly an efficient way to

Well, the firmware counterpart changes are a major piece of work, so it is
possible that the nobootloader changes will be modified before it is finally
uploadable. I hope not though, but you never know with such things.

test everything and commit only finalized work. The first is more logical for
centralized repos like d-i.
