We also might want to start the discussion about what to do with the 
rest of the configuration script content:

   1. Setting up the locale settings
   2. Setting up /etc/fstab
   3. Creating /dev/console
   4. Setting up getty for serial connection
   5. purging unused locale setting and man files
   6. executing 'apt-get clean'

I sort of see reason to do general cleanup jobs in the configuration 
script. Since that should be done after all packages are installed but 
before we could extract all used packages for the reproducable build 
feature. Most of those other steps I would rather do in post/preinst 
steps of a package. The order is not really that important there. Maybe 
its possible to create some sort of 'isar-general-setup' package, that 
does all of that based on bitbake variables and is included in every 
image per default.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Claudius
