Great!

Can't help with that part right now...

This package and related variables should be named
"u-boot-omap3-beagle". I think most u-boot targets follow this
convention(naming it after the defconfig target), so it would keep
naming consistent.
Maybe make-u-boot-package should be extended to support passing a list
of "common" names for boards, which could then be appended to the
description?
