Hi Ralf,

I think it's discouraged / difficult by design.

>Usecase: I need to copy the bootloader to the image to use the binary

You could:
1. pack your bootloader files in a *.deb package
2. publish that package on a local mirror (you can easily setup one using reprepro, aptly or similar)
3. include the package in your <pkg-list/>
4. do your bootloader thing in <finetuning/>
5. remove the package when you are done (also in <finetuning/> but just later), e.g.:

<command>apt-get -q -y purge your-bootloader-package</command>

That's what I do with augeas-tools & co., which I use to edit configuration files in /etc while building (obviously I don't want augeas in the resulting image).

Best,
Lukasz
