My original comment was on the current state of affairs. If re-using the
existing image as a rescue image works for you, there's no reason to
change that. However, I observed in my testing that it's not a terribly
good idea for the reasons I outlined.

If you want to move away from that, though, I believe you could create a
generic rescue image which would be good for most/all Linux instances at
the very least. In fact, there are plenty of examples of generic rescue
images out there already.
