Thanks for the explanation!
The classes were written for the purpose of generating root
filesystems for images by constructing filtered package feeds in
images' ${WORKDIR}, but I think they should indeed be extended and
tweaked to allow generic feeds that can be then exported to
deploydirs. In particular create_packages_dir already does what is
needed for a filtered feed, and there really shouldn't be a second
implementation of that logic elsewhere.
