This is how it was done traditionally. But as I explained when
announcing the tizen-distro snapshot for IVI, that approach has several
drawbacks: often, when only having to change one line, one has to copy a
whole chunk of code from .inc into -extraconf.inc and then modify it
there. The result is that git is unable to show that diff, and when
updating the auto-generated .inc later one there is the risk that more
recent code is not used because of the copied, stale code in
-extraconf.inc.

I used a different approach when putting together the IVI snapshot where
modifying the auto-generated .inc file is okay and encouraged.

It comes down to what the current maintainer, Xavier, intends to do.
Xavier?
