Yes you can have entries within entries and it should work fine. See
[1] for an example of that. It is a correct description of how the
image is put together, so I don't really see a better way.

BTW perhaps 'config' and 'schema' are a bit too generic, but we can
worry about that later. There is no schema validation for binman at
present but I suspect I'll be looking at later in the year.

Regarding accounting for dependencies, it is possible to put a
'filename' property in a section such that binman outputs the contents
of the section to a separate file.
