Comment(by pracine):

 Out-db pixel values were planned to be read directly, from the filesystem,
 by the invoking application. Now that we support seamless reading of pixel
 values for out-db some might want to read them seamlessly through the db.
 We could add a boolean option to ST_AsBinary() so it returns the raster as
 if it was in-db. Another option is to have  a general way to make out-db
 rasters in-db: ST_MakeInDB(raster)...
