Summary

• retain the explicitly requested board-scripts package when a Jaguar machine has no board-specific payload
• keep the product image dependency valid without installing empty directories or suppressing packaging QA

Validation

• complete Jaguar Handheld image progressed through packaging after the empty-directory fix
• rootfs failure identified the intentionally empty package as the sole missing install candidate
• git diff --check
• the full gate will rerun against the focused LmP v96 backport

AI assistance: Codex helped diagnose the rootfs dependency failure and prepare this focused fix.
