In the far future I'd like for these details to be owned by image builders/launchers/setup processes rather than a package, but this can be discussed separately and independently, no need to be tied to this effort.
Ideally I'd like to have this information in a single package rather than distributed over ten different tools, especially as this is also release and platform dependent.
If possible, I'd like to go back to the gold standard of - download Essential: yes packages and their dependencies - unpack them using dpkg --fsys-tarfile | tar -x - install over this directory with dpkg --root=... -i *.debto get something that works as a container. Right now, that only works if I remove "init" from the package list, which is fair since a container doesn't need an init system anyway.
The less an image builder needs to deviate from this approach, the better for our users.
