I concur. From my first experiments with this, the script just felt like the wrong place. It involves guessing the testbed type, and it would require somewhat nuanced restructuring of the script. And as long as universe is enabled unconditionally in the post-build image customization by setup-command, limiting the build to main doesn't seem to gain much. Best, Christian
