I was looking into adding the different packages requested in #1620 and noticed that we again have differences in our Dockerfiles, so I decided to do a POC to evaluate a better way to maintain them, and here's my proposal, which is what I already mentioned in #1400
The major change is to go from individual Dockerfiles per flavor within the same distro, to having a single one for the distro using stage-builds. The reason why I think this makes sense is that most of the content of these files is supposed to be shared across flavors based on a single distribution, and only specific packages or scripts need to run for each different flavor within that distro.
