Yes, we really need this for FreeBSD since that port uses the repository
directly instead of FDT. Thanks for noticing this. We could adapt
FreeBSD to use FDT (this is the only non-device-tree PowerPC port), but
there hasn't been any reason to do that thus far given the availability
of the repository information.
