Also the .conf files are not required for the operation. But it's just my suggestion, other distributions can choose a different approach. I just created Makefile [1] which may help with the packaging, because the topology .conf -> fw .bin relation is _unclear_ for may of us for those SST drivers. If you know more information (you can fill the rules for other topology files), please, share it with us.
