I'll leave that to you. All depends what combinations you want to
validate. I just don't want overlays in the kernel that don't have a
base in the kernel.

Folks may want the composite DTBs if their bootloader can't apply them
or they don't want to mess with it in the bootloader.

Yes you need them if you want to install the .dtbo's. I'm not sure
offhand if it matters for cleaning.
