It can, but that needs different workflows and higher grade of automation.

You could use dck-buildpackage --create-baseimage to do that. Feel free to create some target configs, and I'll be happy to add them. --mtx -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult Free software and Linux embedded engineering i...@metux.net -- +49-151-27565287
