Ok, i've checked it a bit more and you're right, it shouldn't be. But the IB should always delete the package list though.

Ok, i had problems understanding your usecase, too ;) What i do is the following: I build openwrt for one target (well, its several, but lets simplify it and say i build for ar71xx) and select the default profile. Then i copy the imagebuilder on a host which has a webinterface that allows users to create custom images [2]. There the user can select which profile he wants to use. Now lets say the user selects the profile UBNTRS. Without the change the IB builds all images for ar71xx and the user ends up with a list of maybe 70 or more files. This is confusing and it also wastes resources on the buildserver. With the patch only the images needed for Routerstations are build. I'm not completely sure if the patch will have negative consequences somewhere, but besides ar71xx i also offer brcm63xx, atheros and brcm47xx imagebuilders and these still work well. Hope that made it a bit clearer. This last thing is still uncommited because it was in discussion. I'd like to hear what others, especially felix think about the change.
