Creating the barebox-flash-image link predates the multiimage support,
so by the time it was introduced it was not clear to me that there will
be no single image later anymore.

Can't you make the image a config option in buildroot? Depending on only
having a single image selected in barebox doesn't sound like a good
idea.
