Maybe you are right and it is the better solution to stay with
distro-feed-configs.bb as general solution. The details why I did an own
feed configuration is I don't want all PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS as additional
feed configs. Why should a image which is flashed to a armv4 device pull
the feed configs for a armv7a?

When I have a armv7a device it only needs to get the armv7 +
MACHINE_ARCH + all feed configs from the remote host for an update and
nothing more.

The best solution to archive this is as far as I see to make
distro-feed-configs machine specific and don't add PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS
as feed configuration anymore. For poky-feed-config-opkg in oe-core it's
already the case.
