Now I understand what's going on here. Basically Alejandro is trying to
use one format of the same image in another. It's like trying to put
.wic image inside ext2 image or something similar.

I believe it doesn't fit current design of oe image creation system.
I'd suggest to use different image recipes to achieve this.
