Comment 3 for bug 829220

I'd say that the proper fix for this release is to make the u-boot package install the bin in /boot or link to that path, as Kalle suggests. That would make this hwpack behave like all the previous versions, and it's probably the solution with least effort involved.

When time permits we should change the format of the startupfiles.cfg so that absolute file names are specified. This means that the hwpack has to be respun anyway and that older hwpacks might break. Long term it's a better solution since full control is handed to whoever creates the hwpack.

Something along the lines of Matt's patch would work but that would mean dragging along the extra checks for the lifetime of this particular hwpack. I'd like to avoid that unless there's no way we can re-do the hwpack with either a fixed u-boot package or a startfiles packages with absolute paths.
