I'm not exactly sure it fits that well into dib; it seems like
"bundle" has it mostly figured out.  I say that based on [1] where we
are discussing a similar thing for cirros images with watchdog
support.

As mentioned we can easily build these and store them, and put them on
mirrors if we need them closer to nodes.  What I mentioned in [1] and
didn't particularly like is if the build of these images is totally
removed from where they're actually used (e.g. a custom script inside
a job in project-config, where basically anyone outside infra can't
easily replicate the build for a local test).  But if several projects
are building slightly different cusomised cirros images, it might be
worth consolidating.
