Your understanding is correct. It always worked like that
simpleImage.<dt> was generating 4 files.
I have wired that long time ago because I wanted to boot image in U-Boot
that's why .ub was also generated.
Definitely simpleImage.<dt>.ub can be another target and not
automatically generated by simpleImage.<dt>
