    May come in handy: How can I mount a Raspberry Pi Linux distro image? -- note the emphasized line in the accepted answer, "If you do change anything, those changes will be included in the .img file." Unfortunately, this doesn't provide the opportunity to apply apt-get; the easiest way to do that would be to use a VM and rsync with a mounted image identical to the one used to start the VM (since VM images themselves aren't good for this) but I think the only VM option here is QEMU, which AFAICT is a PITA.
