tbm says this is post squeeze, so I'll ignore this for now.

13:11 < tbm> jcristau: sounsd like uboot-mkimage should become a dummy package
             depending on u-boot
13:16 < jcristau> tbm: we can't just change the build-dep and remove
                  uboot-mkimage?
13:20 < tbm> jcristau: for d-i, sure.  but there are other things that use
             uboot-mkimage
13:20 < jcristau> there's no other reverse dep
13:20 < tbm> jcristau: but imho this is post-squeeze
13:20 < jcristau> ok
13:21 < tbm> flash-kernel uses uboot-mkimage, but it's not Depends

Cheers,
Julien
