If I may chip-in, I really like the logic of the proposed image builder...

Basically, you build the root filesystem the way it will look when all
sub-filesystems are mounted, you describe how they are mounted and 
the system builds the partitions accordingly.

I know that what I described is not exactly the logic behind the proposed
patch, but it is a logic I like a lot because it is very easy to understand
and explain. it could also allow us to automatically generate some fstab
lines at some point, which could be nice.
