How about we update gce-create-image to copy the debian packages from test-appliances/debs/ into the GS bucket (maybe gsutil rsync -d to a directory 'debs'), so that it works in the way you're suggesting? Also, Documentation/building-rootfs.md already describes adding packages for kvm-xfstests; it's just gce-xfstests that was missing the documentation. So perhaps the gce-xfstests documentation should refer to the kvm-xfstests documentation for full details on adding packages, if the procedure is going to be the same.
