I think this would simplify a bunch of things, allow us to get rid of
some dependencies (e.g. udisks) and make lmc more robust in general.
There's also the fact that when lmc fails to write the image to the SD
card we would then be able to point the user to the created image file
and they could dd it again to the current card or a different one --
that saves them having to re-run everything because of a flaky card or
bug in lmc.
And I don't think it'd be much work to implement this.
