Wow.. this should be configurable, but I've wanted something like this
for years.  We tend to re-image our hosts for upgrades or other reasons
more than most likely do (we're using SLE though) and I had coded some
stuff to do this year ago using a pre-install, ramdisk and then
find/copy over during pre, find/copy back during chroot.

Was never 100% though.
