I was not suggesting that you submit a patch to Buildroot, but that you
handle the customisation on your side. Use your own genimage.cfg file
that suits your need.

The manual has a section on how to handle local customisations:
    https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#customize

One would argue that overlays are very often used so they should be
installed by our defconfigs.

However, there are so many overlays, for so different things, that
usually only one or a few would be needed in a specific case. Or even
that overlays from anotehr place are used.

So I am still not sure we want to have our defconfigs install the
overlays.

Yann E. MORIN.
