what I do is to flash the base image on a device, and then tweak it until I get 
things working and then create a new image including that file.

If I need different versions for different devices, I work on each one 
separately and then figure a way to detect the different conditions.

Another example from Scale, We use Raspberry Pi computers to run self-service 
registration stations and to provide digital signs when connected to large TVs. 
I use a single image that checks to see if it has a mouse attached, if so it's a 
registration station, otherwise it's a sign and then the appropriate thing gets 
launched.

you can use IP addresses/ranges, DHCP parameters, holding a button, or many 
other things to detect the different conditions.
