+External tools used for final image prepare inside image type classes should be declared as `IMAGER_INSTALL`.
+It will make Isar to install following packages into buildchroot before proceeding.

+If using `wic-img` image type correct bootloader dependecy should be added to target machine config based on selected wic plugin.

+When using legacy BIOS bootloader (amd64/i386 only) dependency on syslinux should be used:
+```
+IMAGER_INSTALL += "${SYSLINUX_BOOTLOADER_INSTALL}"
+```
+When using EFI bootloader dependency on GRUB should be added:
