This rootfs contains things that should not be shared between multiple
machines (like the dbus machine-id), luckily you didn't install
openssh-server or this would result in security issues. Debian doesn't
yet have a safe way to generate generic rootfses or pre-installed
images. For now please choose one of these:

Point users at debootstrap or d-i instead of the rootfs (best option).

Use the debian-live tools to generate a live image, this strips out
all the things that should differ between machines.

Don't ship a rootfs at all.
