I added into my image

IMAGE_FEATURES += "package-management"

and after rebuild find the missing directories in my image. Looking
around in my environment gives:

* angstrom sets
meta-angstrom/conf/distro/include/angstrom-core-tweaks.inc:EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES
??= "package-management"
* in my local.conf I have (taken from OE-core local.conf.sample - long
time ago) EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks"
* EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES is added to IMAGE_FEATURES in bitbake.conf.

If I understand this right, the angstrom default is kicked out by my
local.conf. Since I use this configuration for a while now: What has
changed causing the directories missing?

We are slowly fixing postinst scripts to work off-line and thus the code
that removes it in case all where runned fine is now run. Just that.
