  That patch has been sitting in the freezer :-)

  As you can see from the corresponding mail thread, there is no 
convergence about what to call the two variants of a bootloader. It's a 
bit like gcc: the normal variant builds an installer running on the host, 
but it includes binary code for the target; the other variant is 
completely running on the target.

  Note that for u-boot, the chosen solution is to create a completely 
separate package uboot-tools for the target. But it's a bit a special 
case, because mkimage is not an installer.


  Regards,
  Arnout
