The only preinstalled images being built currently are for armhf+ac100 - for
different hardware than the pandas.  So you wouldn't be able to test them.

I believe we're keeping preinstall on ac100 because it makes sense there,
while getting rid of it on all omap.  Cc:ing Oliver to confirm that this is
the plan.  (Regardless, we are intending to only have one of preinstalled or
live for each ARM hardware flavor.)
