it would be nice to have the <options></options> tag for <squashfs> (like with <tar>).
In my use-case I'm creating a network live image, where vmlinuz and initrd are published on a tftp server, while the rest of the root filesystem is on a web server in a squashfs image. Therefore, I need to create two <package>:
using <tar> I can create a package containing files for the tftp server,
using <squashfs> I can create the package for the root file system.
For the first one I can use <options>, hence I can filter what ends up in there. For the second one I can't, hence the squashfs image contains files that do not need to be there. However, mksquashfs has options to exclude paths, so it would be nice to use it.
This was for my use-case, but mksquashfs has other options that people may want to use
