Just to make sure I was being clear - I was referring to the empty disk
images (embedded updates.img, embedded ks, freespace etc. - the
stuff that's only using guestfish) that are made with createhdds.sh, not
the installed image. If I'm understanding correctly, it's the installed
images (minimal, desktop) that would be most useful to rebuild on a
regular basis - did I misunderstand something? Do all the images for
openqa need to come from the same tool? I suspect that the guestfish
"(mostly) empty disk" methods could be run just about anywhere at most
once a release.

That being said, it sounds like precise partitioning is another
requirement.
