Why build the Device Trees in (separate) package(s)?

So I'm not bound by the speed of Debian's kernel team. If I do go with Debian's experimental kernel and use their device trees, then I wouldn't have blade images or SOQuartz A baseboard images for a long time, which is bad for products people can buy and have already bought.

Finally got some clarity: those changes may not make it into Bookworm's kernel (and thus DT) at all. It could happen if one of the upstream 6.1 maintainers decides to add them, then they'd end up in Debian's kernel too.
But if they don't, then Bookworm's kernel will not have it (at all). So it's safer to do your own thing.
