The manual should make it clear that this is *the* canonical way to add
software to your images. Modifications to local.conf are temporary
tweaks for testing/debugging (i.e., you should never feel the need to
commit your local.conf to some project version control system).

+1. If you add additional packages to core-image-minimal in your local.conf,
you're no longer really building core-image-minimal.

sure. but if you similarly explicitly set IMAGE_INSTALL before
inheriting core-image, you're not really "inheriting" core-image
either. :-)
