Ok, I succeeded to check this in master. Apparently, I understood this
wrong. In my tests I was deleting the tmp/ and sstate-cache/ and I was
not expecting the target packages to be re-built. It turns out that this
entire process takes place but when the rootfs is created, the provided
feeds are used... I learned something new today! :)

Regarding the refactored code, indeed, it does not work in this case. It
always tries to create the index files in the deploy/ipk directory
before continuing with the rootfs creation. I guess a condition should
be added in the new code to check for BUILD_IMAGES_FROM_FEEDS and skip
the index creation step... Shouldn't be hard to fix.
