Because I want to have different image recipes for different proposes.
For example: One image with eth0 on dhcp and another one with static ip. Or
some different images for product variations.

This is a possible solution. But if I build an image without these custom
files (core-image-minimal for example) the original ones will not be
shipped. Am I correct?
Or maybe I can check for a custom variable defined at local.conf and check
for it on bbappend to know if I have to remove or not the original files.
