This isn't how PACKAGE_EXCLUDE was really intended to be used. It's telling you that you've effectively explicitly said "install this thing" then you've said "don't install this thing". PACKAGE_EXCLUDE was meant to remove (or at least error) a package implicitly installed through dependencies. I have to be honest and say I think that image recipes are a special case and should be more or less disposable - if you need to modify them, rather than using a bbappend, just copy and modify as needed.
