* Unique PREFIX; cool. Where do I get signed labels and checksums?

* I fail to see how baking configuration into packages can a) reduce complexity; b) obviate the need for configuration management.

* How do you diff filesystem images when there are unique PREFIXes in the paths?

A salt module would be fun to play around with.
