Thanks for all the feedback, it was very useful.
My plan for now, regarding GCE:
1. enable serial console in GRUB
2. add DefaultPackages plugin
3. make more generic NTP plugin
4. maybe generate better name for packed image than image.tar.gz

Then I'll look into kpartx, image minimization, and development
branch, in no particular order. It seems that there are some
gems I've missed, so more code reading is in order.
Thanks for all the tips!

Best regards.

You mean "task", right? A plugin to add default gce packages seems rather overkill and definitely not the way to go.
