$ cat my.dtb >>zImage

which could be done in a pre-install hook in the deb, or as a kernel
post-install hook (eg running update-grub on a desktop).

mainline u-boot supports devicetree on ARM very well.  It might a better
use of time to add support for the Armada 370/XP to mainline
u-boot.

As an alternative, there is also barebox [1] which is more similar to
the kernel in layout, and has native Kconfig support.  It also needs
patches for Armada 370/XP, and kirkwood/dove/orion5x...

hth,
