As Koen points out, this should be called INC_RPM_IMAGE_GEN since it
only works for rpm at present. It would be good to make this work on the
other package backends. If we keep the generic variable name, the other
package backends could error out saying they don't support it.

Really? I'd have thought it possible the scripts have run during the
previous do_rootfs?

Otherwise the patch looks reasonable to me.
