Oliver, I can do that. thats easy.
the problem is I dont know *when* to do that and when not to.
I expect that update-initramfs would do that for me.
telling people "if you install a package, another package will break unless you set your environment to include FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP=true" is not really any better than telling them "if you install a package, another package will break".
Why can't update-initramfs (or flash-kernel, or whatever) decide at runtime if it needs to invoke flash-kernel.
Possibly allow the user to set a config file /etc/config/flash-kernel to override that logic, but by default do the right thing.
