Please unblock package flash-kernel both deb and udeb. flash-kernel-installer will automatically install u-boot-tools as needed, so installation via the installer works fine, however users who do things manually (i.e. with debootstrap) are frequently caught out by the lack of u-boot-tools. Since u-boot-tools is needed on the majority of systems these days and in any case is quite small bump the Suggests into a Recommends. I believe that this will also fix #773645 in debian-cd since it considers Recommends when deciding to include stuff on CD1. diff -Nru flash-kernel-3.33/debian/changelog flash-kernel-3.34/debian/changelog --- flash-kernel-3.33/debian/changelog 2015-03-05 06:56:52.000000000 +0000 +++ flash-kernel-3.34/debian/changelog 2015-03-26 21:37:26.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,3 +1,11 @@ +flash-kernel (3.34) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Update u-boot-tools to Recommends.
