Agreed this is something I'd like to see in our test pipeline too and integrated into our internal clouds. Managing multiple templates can be messy. Once I finish off some 4.2 related stuff I'll look at implementing a CloudStack provider for packer in Go. Right now puppet provisioning is absent as well making it a bit difficult to configure the templates with a puppetmaster. So perhaps by the time we get to this, there will be support in packer
