Depends on how you intend to use and deploy it.  In the current
cloud scene the cool kids would write a setup script.  Create
a generic container (say ubuntu-cloud) and use cloud-init to
have the container on first boot run the setup script.

The docker folks would do your option (2), and that allows you
to publish the final container.

(Sorry, no definitive answer from me)
