--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> ---
Changing system/skeleton/ is not recommended. Instead, you should create your
own "root filesystem overlay", and use the option BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY to point
to it.

Most likely you did your change to system/skeleton/ *after* a build was done,
and you didn't do a clean rebuild from scratch. In this case, it is expected
that you don't see the changes in your image: the skeleton package has already
been built/installed, so it's not reinstalled.

Using a rootfs overlay is cleaner as you don't change the Buildroot default
skeleton, but also because they are copied into the target filesystem at every
"make" invocation.

See https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#rootfs-custom for more
details, as well as
https://bootlin.com/doc/training/buildroot/buildroot-slides.pdf starting from
slide 79.
