Another question: is this really the next thing to solve?
There are two things:
A) Building the image from a small kernel (where all of them are
already at the same version: they in priciple fit together)
B) Updating an image version X to X+1, or even X to X + 15, as fast as
possible, with as little data as possible.
These are two different problems... just the result is the same... and one
needs both. But B) is not "loading packages".
