I think it's an open question of how user/partial images should
interact. Imagine a setup like jurassic only each user has their own
user image/partial image set up in their home directory. Perhaps it's
reasonable to tell each user to be sure to set their $PKG_IMAGE
correctly.

Perhaps the right sequence of checks is:
1) Am I sitting in a user/partial image above
Perhaps this should be is user's homedir a user/partial image?

Hang on a sec - why would a user have an image or partial
image setup in their homedir? Why should that be the first
check that you make?

Surely we should be assuming that anybody running "pkg image-update"
is not wanting to update a system, and instead wants to update
a home directory?
