I think that a binary fine, copied from the built package, in deploy dir is
wrong by conception. It ought to be puted there as an image, if it is needed
by an image. We could have a class to make it easy, but IMO it ought to be
done at same time the rootfs is built so it uses the same kernel for modules
(that are included into the rootfs) and the binary.
