And I would claim that this will have more of a negative impact on
users than the potential risks posed by UserImageActuators.

If you leave the design of actuators to a per-package engineering
effort, you're back at scripts, one for each package, one for each
architecture.  This is insane.

Your group needs to deliver and own packages that deliver the needed
user services on the various platforms on which you deliver.  You also
need to figure out how to make this work if the platform isn't running
when the image is created.

"Well, we'll just script that when we run into problems" is not the
right way to deal with this.
