One way this could be done in DIB is to either:
bind mount the wheelhouse in from the build host, build an additional
image we dont use which fills up the wheel house, then bind mount that
in to the image we upload.

OR

make a chroot inside of our image build which creates the wheelhouse,
then either bind mount it out or copy it out in to the image we upload.

Either way, its pretty nasty and non trivial. I think the path of least
resistance for now is probably making a wheel mirror.
