+      <p>When using BR2 in an environment where own software binaries or
+      static data should be part of the generated rootfs package, the
+      <code>BR2_ROOTFS_POST_BUILD_SCRIPT</code> feature might interest
+      you. You can specify a command here which is called <i>after</i> BR2
+      built all the selected software, but <i>before</i> the the rootfs
+      packages are assembled. The destination rootfs folder is given as
+      first argument. You can add own components here, change
+      default configurations and remove unwanted files.</p>
+      <p>You should, however, use that feature with care. Whenever you
+      find that a certain package generates wrong or unneeded files, you
+      should rather fix than package than working around it with a
+      cleanup script.</p>
