OK, I knew there was something funny about this, and it wasn't really
fixing the problem.  I also knew that it had previously worked, and
digging around realized that the problem was that the recent patch 'wic:
Extend --rootfs-dir to connect rootfs-dirs' is what actually broke
things.

So this patch shouldn't be applied - I need to look at it a bit more and
come up with a proper fix..
