a) You don't really have to include them in the image. Just make the ipks and install them on the machine (ipkg install). No need to re-install the entire operating system... And you can de-install them also, if needed (ipkg remove)
b) The same environment you used to make the image can also be used to create a huge number of extra packages. See package descriptions in your "openembedded/packages" catalog. Build a package (from your build directory!) using "bitbake <package>". Your compiled packages will be stored in the "tmp/deploy/ipk" directory.
pretty cool 
thanks my problem was that i thought i had to install bitbake in my linux, never looked in bb folder 
everything is ok now thank you very much
i think i have a problem

what i do wrong?
cd root/dreambox/build (root brrrr i hope you do not not compile as root?!?)
. env.source
bitbake ../openembedded/packages/openvpn/openvpn_2.0.2.bb
(paths out of mind so there could be an mistake :))
thank you very much, it worked !:)
now i have new problem
kernel-module-tun is missing
any ideas ?
A quick-and-very-very-dirty method is to just edit the kernel config file (in build/tmp/work/linux-dm7025-2.6.12.6-r6/linux-2.6.12.6/.config), set the options you want, and then re-run the most recent build script (in ../temp/run.do_compile.xxxx).
A slightly cleaner method (but still pretty dirty) is to edit the kernel config file, and delete some stamps in tmp/stamps/linux-dm7025-2.6.6-r6.do_xxx. Leave the fetch/patch stamps alone, otherwise the changes you made will be overwritten. Then do a new build of dreambox-image. Your changes will stay around until the kernel is next changed by DMM...
great everything worked
tun.ko created but doesnt want to insmod tun
it says device inuse?
