Why throught local.conf. Image recipes are really small and easy to understand. Just make a copy of the recipe you want to change and change that, no need to go poke at it from non obvious places.
I really don't understand why people are so against creating their own image recipe since foo-image.bb is not really foo-image anymore if you add 'bar' to it thru e.g. local.conf.
