Thank you for your answer. I applied your commit. And after struggling a little with some side-effects that led to erasing my build/tmp, everything is now fine, both with rpm & deb. 

Well… When I say "fine", I mean no errors during the baking. But the results are a bit different: 

RPM-based 
Installer is 1.7 GiB. 
SDK is 10.3 GiB, 168361 files & 35049 folders. 

Debian-based: 
Installer is 1.3GiB. 
8.9GiB, 172366 files & 34795 folders. 

What is the same in both runs is the emptiness of the manifest files! 
Both target.manifests are empty. And the host manifests only have a single line (meta-environment-extsdk) 

Does that make sense? 

Thanks 
Michel
