It will go as package so in downstream we have dist-git as 'cdk-utils'
but code-base will be same like we do for kickstart files so that
should not be a problem/confusion.

My vote is still for 'adb-utils' (developer-bundle-utils is too
generic and not provide much background about project) but we can
discuss it in Wednesday meeting.
