Public bug reported:
system-image currently supports a 'bootme' option that may be present in
the JSON and instructs Touch to reboot _after it has finished
downloading the current file_.
However, Core has a slightly different requirement. It attempts to
minimise reboots, but when certain packages (like the kernel) have been
updated, a reboot will be required. Crucially though, this reboot should
not occur until the the system image has been fully downloaded *and*
fully unpacked.
After a discussion with barry+mvo, we think the best approach is to
modify the bootme flag to be able to specify a 'deferred' value meaning
"reboot at end of download+unpack".
