I know I myself hacked the image-builder script into this direction,
but in hindsight I feel that it got too hacky and that was the wrong
approach. It presented various surprises along the way and at the very
end left me with the "this is the wrong thing" feeling.

I feel that for making such customizations, the deployments should
clone the build setup (pilgrim) and make changes there. It's more
complex but works well and doesn't leave such a bad taste in the
mouth.
