I have a shell script which will do the shuffling of an UNPRIVED build,
parts of it are (probably) specific to my system (esp. the list of
which bits of /etc not to move - I wrote it before etcupdate was
issued.)

The only caveat is that it needs some minor tweaks to the build
system, I think only to help it sort out hard links on update
builds - when METALOG has an entry for the linked file, but not
for the file itself - so the permissions are absent and you don't
know which file it has to be linked to.

If anyone is interested I'll make it available.
