This change does not improve the metadata but makes it harder to
maintain. The dummy package makes it easy to use and avoid this
maintenance burden.

With this change, every time a new board uses Kernel mainline it will
involve a change on this. This is even worse for internal custom
boards.

What is the main reason to wish to remove the dummy package?
