It probably could, but it's pretty unnecessary. The SetUpdateHaikuImageOnly 
rule is kind of a build system power user feature, i.e. you're supposed to 
know what you're doing, if you use it manually.

Running e.g. "jam -q update-image kernel" without an existing image does 
also fail, but given that this line explicitly requests only to update the 
kernel file, that's just what should happen.
