  But would the images/ dir contain anything besides the boot.tar.gz?  If not,
it makes more sense to put all the required images in the images dir.  It's
easier to copy the files from there than to untar them.

  Ah, of course, there's the rootfs files...  But OTOH, you'd also have to handle
bzImage explicitly in some way, so it's just as easy to copy everything except
rootfs.* from the images directory.
