Yes but that is a "regular" package.
I am referring to "image packages", which are a bit different; see the
documentation here:
https://www.ptxdist.org/doc/ref_make_variables.html#image-packages

In these packages, the <PKG>_IMAGE variable points to a file (the
image that is created by the rule). The clean target is automatically
generated based on this variable. My question is how to do this if the
package generates more than one image.
