That looks useful. Does it delete itself and the extra repo configuration after setup? If not, while convenient I'm not convinced the increased attack surface is worth it.

This small patch of mine to raspbian may be useful for you, then:

https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen/pull/207

The minor downside is that you have to build the image yourself, but fortunately that is a single command once docked is installed.

I must say it's silly we can't be trusted with a simple way to drop in a shell script on the SD card that runs at boot as root in rasbian.

I don't even understand the idea that it could be bad for newbies to maybe mess up. The whole point of the RPi was to give students a small, cheap, easy to repair computer with low-level features to learn with.

Yeah, the project is sort of a mess maintainer-wise, but at least it is straightforward to modify/rebuild.
