Well, too quick: "binman replace" writes everything into a temporary directory, including the updated image - and then deletes this directory on exit. So the original image will not be updated, and the update is lost. I tried to quickly fix it by adding a rename before FinaliseOutputDir, but it feels like I'm working against the design of the internal interfaces here.
