Hi Eric,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not into the details of all tools in the
package (I typically only use the flash* mtd* and jffs2 things)
Seems a good plan to me to put these in a misc package
(actually I also considered moving all other stuff that is in my proposal
in mtd-utils into a differently named package, e.g. mtd-utils-core) and
have mtd-utils as an umbrella package dragging in what it does now (so it
should RDEPEND on the meta-utils-* packages but have no other stuff in it).

Best regards, Frans.

PS: partially related: I have filed yocto bug 3702 asking for more
fine-grained control on what is included in an image.
