As I've mentioned later in the initial mail (see above), I'm not talking
about using this approach to deploy Fuel (although it'd be great if we do).
I'm talking about using it to deploy Fuel and then MOS. We can download
some fixed part of the image that contains everything needed to deploy Fuel
and add all necessary repos and manifests to it, for example.

So to repeat the analogy, Fuel is like deb-installer that is present on any
Debian-based MiniCD and MOS (packages+manifests) is like packages that
present on DVD (and downloaded in MiniCD case). You don't want to dig into
deb-installer, but you might want to install different software from
different sources. Just like you don't want to mess with Fuel itself while
you might want to install customized MOS from local repo (or from resulting
image).
