   dtc basically takes a device-tree in a given format and outputs a
   device-tree in another format.

   There are already source and binary packages for a tool called dtc,
you will have to rename this. Maybe ppcdtc?

   I was unable to understand what the software does from its
description, maybe you could mention what a device tree is, what the
formats are (raw, flattened/blob), how dtc relates to OF, why the kernel
needs it (kexec?), etc.

   Also, have you been in contact with Fredrik Roubert? He seems to have
done Debian packages before.

Cheers,
