Agreed. There are multiple ways, ranging from functions defined in
the .bbclass to shared Python modules under meta-intel/lib, so we are
not limited to overriding one specific task.

Sounds like a plan. I have a patch ready for refkit (*) which drops the
code from image-dsk.bbclass and uses uefi-comboapp.bbclass instead, so
we just need to get this patch merged into meta-intel.
