Ideally "Deploy the files" should support any mixture of

packages for other software like third-party software.
We did not think about this possibility, but it is an
interesting idea to mix both approaches...
Initially the new installer may only support
one type of data for deployment, i.e. deployment
either by installing RPM packages
or by installing an image
or by untar of a tar.gz archive.
For my particular use case "system recovery" it would be
basically sufficient to untar a single tar.gz archive
(which means the user must backup all in one single archive).
Right now, "system recovery" is, IMO, not a use case for the installer.
That's task for another project but that one might not make it into SLE
12, maybe openSUSE 13.2.
This use cause maybe covers it a bit:
https://github.com/yast/yast-installation/wiki/New-Installer%3A-Use-Cases#reusing-the-installer-config-file
- it's similar to AutoYast.
