It's a quick hack that was added because we didn't have a better way.
Now we have, and we should look into a decent solution, instead
of insisting on multiple (redundant!) versions.
We don't have the manpower to maintain this.

The easier we can keep things, the better.

Uhu.
Well, so what ISO does that build - one with a generic kernel, 
generic-laptop, generic-small, -tiny, ...?

I'm not convinced this is the way to go.

What is the primary purpose?
(If you say "make a release" now, I'm gonna ask you what the build.sh 
iso-image thing is for, then)
