Bug Description

We're seeing problems in snappy (s-i 2.5) where system-image-dbus informs us that the image has been fully downloaded (via UpdateProgress()), but files continue to download for some minutes.

This gives a bad front-end experience as snappy sync's its progress bar to the s-i status and users could be forgiven for thinking snappy has hung.

After discussion, there are a few things to investigate. Tops would be trying to reproduce this with si 3.0 rather than the snappy branch of 2.5. I am putting together a PPA version of 3.0 for James and Michael to test.

If it's reproducible there, then some further thoughts:

* Are we getting accurate HEAD information from system-image.ubuntu.com?
* Do the file systems in the image json match the HEAD calculated total size?
* Is it a problem with the math for calculating the % downloaded so far?

Obviously it would be helpful to come up with a reproducible test case.
