If you want to have own images - create them. Otherwise we have people 
which builds random images and can not be supported (why does 
my 'minimal-image' does not have working touchscreen when I start Abiword 
from icon after booting to full X.org with E17?).

I vote against IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL. Let it live as ugly Angstrom hack for 
breaking sane images into unsupportable ones.
