Title:
  flash-kernel can't be properly disabled

Status in flash-kernel package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Per the man page:

  /etc/flash-kernel/machine
    If  present this can be used to override the machine autodetection. The contents must be a
    string which matches an entry in the database. Or `none' to disable flash-kernel.

  However, if that file contains 'none, flash-kernel bombs out with a
  non-0 exit status:

  $ cat /etc/flash-kernel/machine 
  none

  $ sudo flash-kernel 
  Unsupported platform 'none'.
  $ echo $?
  1

  If disabled, the exit status should be 0. Otherwise installation of
  packages that call flash-kernel in a postinst hook will fail.
