Right, I was only talking about the SD card case. I thought we were moving
away from kernel-in-flash since some future boards don't even have onboard
flash.
assuming we have support to cross install debs on your sdcard, wouldn''t it be good enough for your case to keep the old deb and install that rather than keeping the backup on the sdcard?
