 hoooraaaaay!  congratulations.  this is an awesome strategic
achievement.  it will not stop people doing stupid things like forcing
their personal preferred settings onto others when distributing
ridiculously large (4gbyte) fixed size root images but it at least
provides an alternative... one that is a sub-5mbyte alternative at
that.

 do you have a pre-built option or some instructions for people to follow?
