No prob! And you're correct that the dtbs copied/linked in the /boot
directory (not the partition, which is typically mounted in
/boot/firmware -- but I suspect you meant the /boot dir) are basically
unused in the Pi case. Or I suppose more precisely they just indicate
the dtb flash-kernel *thinks* the board was using at the last run of
flash-kernel.

However, as you've noted, you can move your storage media to a different
model, boot it, and now the dtb in /boot is completely wrong, but it
doesn't really matter because it's not used anyway. Maybe we'll fix it
"properly" next cycle now I've got a sidekick! Well, hope springs
eternal :)

Bug description:
  Wrong dtb assigned for boards "Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.1"

  Tested flash-kernel package in development for plucky, 3.108ubuntu1
  version.

  The flash kernel database, file /usr/share/flash-kernel/db/all.db,
  contains this entry for all Raspberry Pi 5 board revisions:

  Machine: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B
  Machine: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0
  Machine: Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev *
  Kernel-Flavors: raspi raspi-realtime
  Method: pi
  DTB-Id: bcm2712-rpi-5-b.dtb
  U-Boot-Script-Name: bootscr.rpi
  Required-Packages: u-boot-tools

  But as stated in the Product Change Notes on Revision 1.1 of the
  Raspberry Pi 5 Board
  (https://pip.raspberrypi.com/categories/1129-pcn/documents/RP-006041-PC/PCN-
  Raspberry-Pi-5B-Rev-4.pdf) all Revision 1.1 boards come with
  BCM2712D0. So the correct DTB-Id for Rev 1.1. is:

  DTB-Id: bcm2712d0-rpi-5-b.dtb
