Adding a /one to image one, a /two to image two etc would make it easier
to see whether all files are there....

        so the new keys aren't there.

        If I get the overlay img first, then the container, the files
        from the overlay all get written correctly and the ones in the
        container do not overwrite them.

        Basically it behaves as if the first extracted img to write a
        file wins for that file and all subsequent files with the same
        name are discarded. This is counter-intuitive as I would have
        expected the last writer to win if I had simply ran `cpio` to
        extract all the images to a single location.

Ok, I'm taking all that back. I think the file overwrite or not
overwrite behavior may be random or at least subject to some other
effect I haven't figuredĀ out yet. Repeated reboots to get more samples
shows that I can't really predict which img will win for a given file
that is present in multiple images. I'll be playing around with this
some more as it's really useful behavior, if it can be made to be
predictable and repeatable.
