I did that, added it in the openstack-debian-images package, and
uploaded this to Sid. I will upload to backports when the package
migrates to Testing.

Added the properties as you suggested (and fixed that in my upload
script to make sure it will be there on further uploads), and the new
images are now:
region-a.geo-1:
8e1b9412-792c-4398-803c-cf3166bf128c
region-b.geo-1:
25ac3b57-2a3a-4c02-8f41-577b21760d24
Cheers,

P.S: I deleted the other 2 old images.
