But the mkimage etype creates its own files to pass to mkimage anyway, using entry.GetData() in collect_contents_to_file() without reaching into subentries' files. More specifically, what I'm thinking of is removing check_fake_fname() entirely, instead of managing/removing the files it creates. At a cursory glance, only blob and blob-ext-list seem to use that directly.
