 To make is clear; here is what happens:
 
 - 'make distribution' builds from sources, and update binairies in $DESTDIR,
   and builds INSTALL kernels/ramdisks/boot media. This may include bootable
   iso images without binary sets.
 - 'make release' takes whatever is in $DESTDIR and build the release bits
   from it. It won't attempts to rebuild outdated binairies from sources.
 - 'make iso_image' takes whatever is in $RELEASEDIR and makes a
   (possibly bootable) iso image from it.
 
 You have to go though these 3 steps in order to have an updated from sources
 iso image with binary sets.
