It turns out that it is quite easy to create a Docker image containing a filesystem from an SD card image. This can be used for OS analysis and validation, such as dependency graphing, checking that packages installed are the latest from the relevant repo, etc.
Separating this from the actual build process into a separate, subsequent workflow/job means that the zip is available earlier, and also means that a Docker image is also available for inspecting if there are any issues. This is significantly faster than burning an SD card to perform a single package update check.
This can easily be automated in future.
