I'm not sure that is feasible, because then you would loose access to
things that need to be done inside fakeroot (f.ex.).

Plus @master the new rootfs-common.tar has been added, but the build
deletes it again and thus it can't be exported as build artifact.

If you are using a br2-external tree, you can also define your own

...which would mean we are back in the slow monolithic meta build system
with our components. Sorry, but that won't do :-)

BTW: we do have a br2-external tree but it is basically "pure". It is only
needed so that we do not pollute the buildroot tree with things that are
needed to run the buildroot build system and create the build artifacts
afterwards.
