** Description changed:

- ecosconfig is part of the eCos and RedBoot build systems. This package
- is used to build the redboot-freescale package and is out of date with
- the mainstream eCos repository. Unless you intend to build redboot-
- freescale, you do not need this package, and if you intend to do eCos
- development should grab a newer version of eCos and  ecosconfig from
- eCos homepage. ecosconfig is part of the eCos and RedBoot build systems.

+ ecosconfig-imx is part of the eCos and RedBoot build systems and a
+ build-dependency of RedBoot-imx. As adding support for the iMX51 SoC
+ (and more specifically the Freescale Babbage board), has been an ongoing
+ goal for the Mobile team for this cycle, getting this package in gets us
+ one step closer to being able to build RedBoot in archive, and adding
+ full support.
+ 
+ I'm requesting a Feature Freeze exception as this package is key to
+ adding redboot-imx to the archive, and completing this goal. As this
+ package is only used to build redboot-imx, and is not directly used by
+ anything else, its a low risk addition.
+ 
+ The package currently is on REVU: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p
+ /ecosconfig-imx
