  I don't think it's useful to make them packages, because they are 
really different. Adding the propagation of -all-source etc. to the 
dependencies can easily be done in ROOTFS_TARGET_INTERNAL.

  In a later stage, we could consider to move the (few) common parts into 
some common package/rootfs infrastructure, but the gain is limited I expect.
