You can post-process the rootfs before generating the image to rm the
dirs you do not want, by appending a suitable function to the
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND variable.

Also, there are existing systems out here that need multiple partitions,
e.g., the SD image  for RPi (see meta-raspberrypi) contains two separate
partitions, see the sdimage bbclass for what it does.
