Yeah, it's the "you still need a way to define what goes into the image" part that intrigues me with respect to combining tools like zc.buildout with Docker. It's an aspect I've seen folks sometimes miss in the discussions around containers in general - the existing tech for repeatable deployments doesn't necessarily go away, you just run it at image build time rather than deployment time.
