This is a very interesting idea, but care should be applied when
combined with cloud (disk) images.  In particular, I worry that if an
encrypted disk image is distributed that the well-known passphrase could
be used to get the master key from any pristine copy of the disk image.
In effect, the master key becomes an open secret.  Thus, any instance
derived from this disk image would be fairly easy to read regardless of
knowledge of the wrapping key.
