fix(build-image): Allow "cross-builds" of images for different arch

Imports the package set twice in the builder expression: Once
configured for the target system, once configured for the native
system.

This makes it possible to fetch the actual image contents for the
required architecture, but use local tools to assemble the symlink
layer and metadata.
