Yes kernel-power-flasher is needed. But if you have u-boot already installed, kernel-power-flasher will ask you if you want to flash kernel power into nand or not.

* kernel-flasher: yes but it is substituted by u-boot-flasher, and it can be removed if U-boot has to remain installed
* kernel-modules: yes
All these packages are needed for stock kernel. And because u-boot has attached stock kernel, all those packages must be installed.

This is optional package, contains bootimg of stock kernel. It was used to create uboot combined image (uboot+kernel)

Both packages must be installed if you want u-boot.

All these packages are really obsolated and should not be installed (conflicts with u-boot-flasher).

All these packages must be installed if you want kernel-power in device (both u-boot or flashable version)

This package is needed if you want to boot kernel-power from u-boot
