phablet-tools is rather for home use than for smoke testing we just
happen to usually do it in that order ... 
(i.e. for bootcharting i developed phablet-bootchart which is shipped in
phablet-tools, then handed it to the CI team, they asked for some extra
features i added and now the bootchart creation is using this script
which makes sure that the results you get at home are identical to
theirs)
using phablet-tools for CI stuff simply makes sure we all use the same
bits and pieces with the same bugs and results ... so we have something
we can also hand to OEMs that allows them to compare their results to
our reference ones.

to have something like phablet-memstat I would indeed need to make sure
all these little bits and pieces are in the archive etc

you mean having them seeded and preinstalled permanently ? i suppose we
could do that, yes  (phablet-*foo would indeed make the image writable
and install their debs as first step)
