My point is that they fill different purposes.

One produces single-architecture images (preferably bootable,
which started this discussion), while the other is set up to
produce multi-architecture images, some of the images bootable on
multiple architectures, and can currently not produce single-
architecture images without local modification of files we keep
in our CVS repository.

Maybe.  So far that hasn't happened, though, and compared to the
src/etc setup, it's a whole lot more complicated.
