You shouldn't edit anything in $(TARGET_DIR) yourself - edit the
source, then rebuild.

However, there does need to be a way to copy the target_skeleton over
the root directory again in case you've edited files (startup scripts,
passwd file, fstab etc). And you might not want to copy this over an
existing $(TARGET_DIR), because then you might lose changes made
by packages.

I didn't understand your softclean and rootclean targets though. Here's
what I have added to my own tree:

root-clean:
	rm -rf $(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)/.root $(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)/autotools-stamps $(TARGET_DIR)
