The ARM LT's changes to U-Boot which caused this name change don't seem to have been accepted upsteam and we will be dropping U-Boot in favour of UEFI in a couple of months. In which case, it makes sense for our changes to be dropped from Linaro's U-Boot. This will cause the U-Boot name to revert to the old one.

I believe that for a couple of months, jcrigby did some packaging foo so the u-boot package contained binaries under both the old and new names. If this is true, then it would be useful if this could be done for the next couple of months also, until the U-Boot changes are reverted. Then the Platform team's 'vexpress' board type can continue to use the old U-Boot name, and the ARM LT's board type can use UEFI. (It will be a new board type to replace 'vexpress_a9' which will work any vexpress no matter the coretile used A5/A9/A15
)
