To expand on what Koen said, you shouldn't use image-specific
variables in a package as then the package can't be re-used in
multiple images.  At best you'll end up rebuilding the package every
time an image is created, at worst images will have incorrect
buildinfo.

Instead, implement this functionality as an optional image creation
postprocess hook.
