Actually in latest release, the tarball generated includes a
.tarball-version file that includes the proper revision.
It is supported since 1.3.169, which is considered "pre-release" as it
isn't used in a GA BSP yet, but I think that feature is interesting
enough to bump the package already.

I'm confused I thought we agreed that it'd be best to keep mgftools
as-is and only create a new "uuu" or "imx-uuu" package not to break
compatibility with people using the mfgtools v2? [1]
Has there been a new development in that discussion?
