Sorry, my comment in your home repo was supposed to be posted here :-)

Is "/boot/aa64dtb" something which hard-coded in laptop UEFI? And again, if this is just for one laptop, perhaps more concrete name will be better.

Hi Ivan,

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly, but "/boot/aa64dtb" is not in ESP. It is a folder under /boot that holds target DTBs before copying into the ESP. In general, the real installation happens in the %post section when the ESP is successfully mounted. For the installation-images package however, there will be no chance to do %post so I will create another PR to installation-images, which manually copies /boot/aa64dtb/*.dtb to the ESP as we have done for the raspberrypi-firmware-dt package.

For the purpose of being generic, I expect that this package will cover X13s and all other arm64 laptops that need this kind of DTB installation at present or in the future. For example, I assume that the next generation of X13s would also have the same requirement.

Note that on the RPi we needed to deal with pre-UEFI partitioning schemes as well.

Maybe here a better installation location would be /usr/share/<packagename>/?

This location looks good to me. I will revise my SR. Thanks.
