In the meantime, the pain of getting getting the production image up and
running can be reduced (not eliminated) by scripting your application
install list.  The Syncing Apple has a post demonstrating (see the
comments for how to sudo the app-installer-tool properly):

You'll still need to install xterm and flash to R&D mode manually, but the
script can do quite a bit after that.
