Ah, this is an interesting problem.  But, I wouldn't involve wic in
solving "how do I take one image and get multiple unique
partition/filesystem UUIDs".  Generally this problem (since you see it
with clonezilla and other things of that nature) is to script up using
sfdisk to change the partition UUIDs, tune2fs to change the filesystem
UUIDs and correct the files that care.
