FYI seems like ImageBuilder still needs some love, I've tested both:

 https://buildbot.aparcar.org/targets/x86/64/openwrt-imagebuilder-x86-64.Linux-x86_64.tar.zst
 https://downloads.staging.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/x86/64/openwrt-imagebuilder-x86-64.Linux-x86_64.tar.zst

and they both seems to fail the basic `make image` smoke test:

  $ make image
