I think there's still a basic disconnect.

Ironic builds a ramdisk image from scratch, currently using DIB, to run IPA
in an ephemeral environment for provisioning and cleaning. We can't run
just a simple qcow image. I think the current methods using debootstrap are
great because it makes it trivial to setup a new image using DIB.

If we were to use published  debian images, we'd have to edit them, embed
the IPA ramdisk, and ensure they're in a separate kernel:ramdisk format to
be used as a ramdisk. In my experience, that's pretty difficult to do with
a standard cloud image.
