Summary:                    MTD utils and LZO are out of date (fix this)
Description: 
Update MTD utils to be 1.2.0.  This requires an update to lzo-2.03 which
now uses buildroot autotools
makefile. 
MTD-utils 1.2.0 means that there is no longer a need for mtd-utils.git.  
MTD-utils 1.2.0 has a  patch that means if you select no UBI targets then
it will stop the compilation
of UBI tools.  This stops older kernels breaking (<2.6.25 i think)
If you select UBI targets then patch is not applied.

That's true for now, but it may be needed again in the future. So I
would suggest not removing it, if anyone is going to work on this.

I'm not sure what you mean about UBI targets?

Although I think I worked on mtd-utils most recently, I don't have time
to work on the package again in the next few days at least.

I don't see any particular need to remove mtd-utils.git - it may be useful
again in the future.
