I see your point and I'm not saying we shouldn't have the kernel available
somewhere. We need it somewhere.

However I disable when it is copied to deploy; in my opinion it ought to be
done at rootfs creation so it will _always_ have a {z,bz,u}Image available
in deploy dir.

Just try:

bitbake console-image (works)
rm $DEPLOY_DIR
bitbake console-image (fails)

and this is wrong IMO.
