To be honest I always recommend people create their own image recipes
whatever they are doing since image recipes are usually trivial and
almost always need to be customised. The easiest way to do this is to
copy an existing image recipe and name it and modify it as you prefer.

If "package-management" is not in IMAGE_FEATURES the smart config gets deleted
anyway so this will have no effect. However, if desired you can use an inline
python expression within the shell function to do things conditionally, e.g.
if ${@base_contains("IMAGE_FEATURES", "package-management", "true", "false",
d)}; then
...
fi
It's important to realise though that the evaluation of the inline
python happens when the expression is parsed, not when the shell
function it is executed; by the time the shell function executes the
expression will have been converted to its result.
Cheers,
Paul
