I missed the mail... sorry

In any case, for any non toy image, unless you have a 10.000 rpm scsi
hard drive, copying 1,8G of data for the sake of not requiring 2
packages to be installed on the host system, seems crazy (both in time
and HDD usage, it really stucks my laptop for 10 minutes, and also
requires a lot of free space).

Am I missing something that the current approach gives (in addition to
not requiring squashfs, genisoimage ...)? 

Cheers
