That's more about using it in local.conf than individual image recipes.
I had forgotten that we were "require"ing an existing recipe here and missed
it in the code. However isn't there then a problem if you use _append and the
user wants to remove something added by the original image using Hob? Won't
the removed package just be forced back in by virtue of appending to the
original value of IMAGE_INSTALL?
Cheers,
Paul
