  Like so often, my answer to this kind of thing is: wrap the call to 
buildroot in a script. I.e., write a script that updates the overlay (and 
any other custom package), regenerates the config from a defconfig, does 
whatever other required magic, then calls make, and maybe does some 
post-processing on the resulting images as well.

  This makes it much easier to understand what happens than a totally 
hacked together xxx-overlay package.
