AH HA!  So it wasn't a mistake that the "old" iso-image and the new
iso_image targets in etc/Makefile still both did something!

At first it seemed to me that (at least on the netbsd-4 branch) someone
had forgot to clean up the old mess.

It would be nice if the internal comments in the Makefiles (and maybe in
build.sh itself too) were also updated to reflect the reality of what
the code actually does.
