Agreed, please don't merge yet.

The problem is a bit more complicated: is IMAGE_MANIFEST the manifest
file for the entire image (as the name implies), or just of the main
partition? The two are not necessarily the same, because some image
types combine the main partition with additional content (like a boot
loader and the kernel).

This conceptual issue needs further work.
