What's the envisioned end-user usage?  Ideally I guess you'd specify 
something like TARBALL=tarball.tgz when you build your rumprun image, 
and that would take care of everything.  But it's not obvious to me 
where the TARBALL=foo info should be specified.  Related: we still 
didn't figure out what to do with crunchgen.
