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.

Thanks.
Yep, this change looks like a good idea, even if slightly too late for
RC2. ;)
