[OpenWrt-Devel] Is it possible to create two images for the same device with a different set of DEVICE_PACKAGES?

Thanks for the suggestion.  But I believe this file is used directly as
config to the initramfs builder in the kernel.  Extending the format
would mean modifying usr/gen_init_cpio.c in the kernel.  That's a bit
overkill IMHO.

I am probably ending up with the simplest solution: Dropping the large
firmware package from DEVICE_PACKAGES. Making defconfig images usable
for first-time installation is much more important than having every
necessary package included in the defconfig sysupgrade images.
