I don't think it's useful to make them packages, because they are
really different. Adding the propagation of -all-source etc. to the
dependencies can easily be done in ROOTFS_TARGET_INTERNAL.
In a later stage, we could consider to move the (few) common parts into
some common package/rootfs infrastructure, but the gain is limited I expect.

Arnout
