Glad to hear it; I hoped there was as simpler way. Even though I’ve used *nix of many sorts for decades I still find it almost completely incomprehensible, totally infuriating and generally Just Plain ‘Orrible.

That is excellent news. So much simpler!

Yes, it would be a help. Right now the only easy to point to download is for the all-in-one which then means much joy to extract the right parts. I suppose we might be able to insert a suitable script to extract the image/changes/sources to the proper Pi places. At least that would be easy to explain.
