I'm not really sure if this is a solution but if all of your hardware
is the same across your devices, you could simply use "dd" to create a
base image from your first working device and then after copying
update the files that need to be different between the machines (the
primary one being the SSH keys).  That's what I did when I had to
install the same OS and software across 100 machines.
