  Why staging? Shouldn't we add sanitize_XXX(filename) where XXX is
any type of file insane.bbclass checks for, and call it around
do_install? Plus, add sanitize_XXX_recursive() for lazy folks, who
will search for broken stuff in install dir itself - just like insane
currently does, except it will fix it on spot ;-)
