This sounds quite complicated. How would that work with the current
image mode? Do merge on activate and split on deactivate?

Are you planning to let the user install additional architectures time
by time? Which would mean we need to track dependencies per
architecture. Also we would need to ensure that no two different
versions are merged together.
