Yes, I had proposed the same. Dirk wanted to look up some macros for
aiding with that... :)

Maybe they should, but in practice they aren't for new boards being
added to the kernel. Things get added to .dts in newer kernel versions
that are required for those kernels to work properly.

Well, since Factory's dtb-source package will always be older-than or
equal-to kernel-source, this direction seems irrelevant. Occasionally
things get moved around, so there may be exceptions to the rule.
