Because we don't put userspace testsuites there for one.
And its a stand alone tool and should have its own packaging for a
second (ie the kernel provides the kernel and modules, but not random
user space utilities, in its tarbal).
If we say only some boards or ports are special and need to build then
I would vote for shipping asm files. If we think we need to build any
random embedded platform without installing dtc then we should merge
dtc.
PS the proposed kbuild integration is wrong; it should build it in the
subdirectory.
