The goal of being able to insert new packages into arbitrary existing root filesystems without having to rebuild any of those existing binaries (and without having to statically link the new binaries) explains a lot of your approach. It also makes your build system significantly more complicated to configure and use for something that _is_ building a new system image from scratch, but at least there's a good reason for it.
