updates.img testing is useful for some things, not for everything. For
instance, my reproducer for this involves a system with no wired
connection, so the standard way to load the updates.img is not so
useful ;) You can load them from local media but it's a bit more work.
For this specific case I figured using the 'update packages on a live
image' approach would be a better test.

Also note that for karma purposes - as opposed to testing the fix
before commit - we should really test the *entire* update, not just the
specific change for the bug in question. Testing an entire Bodhi update
via updates.img is not usually really possible because it's just not
quite the same thing: you can't change *everything* with an
updates.img.

Generally speaking we use updates.img to test the individual fixes
before rolling an update, where necessary/appropriate. For testing the
update we really should be testing the updated packages themselves.
