I will try that. Looking at the code we might well have the same
problem with sdkchroot_install_files, hopefully the fetch dep fixes
both.

Yes both these postprocess functions violate an essential isar rule.
"everything inside rootfs should come from a package"

I think for the stuff from sdkchroot_install_files we can do that
easily and i will add a TODO for that. For buildchroot_install_files it
might be trickier, if we wanted that to be a package we would need to
build it "native" since we do not yet have a buildchroot.
