This is at91bootstrap version 1, from my point of view upstream focus is now 
on version 3 only (the ptxdist package is called 'at91bootstrap2'). You choose 
one or the other depending on your SoC/board, AFAIK there are only very few 
boards supported by both, if any.

And: you can avoid at91bootstrap at all and use the SPL variant of U-Boot or 
barebox instead for this stage of the bootloaders. (We never tried that.)

If you just want to pin the version to v1.16, I'm fine with that.
