Ezjail already has this skeleon feature. It's used for every jail you create with ezjail. You can then upadate this skeleton, and you update the basesystem of all jails at once. Your solution looks a little bit more generic, as you can use a different skeleton for each jail. The make installskel part could be compatible with ezjail, but I'm not sure if the rc.d part could be used easily by ezjail. Ezjail is nullfs-mounting (RO) the skeleton into each jail, and it has symlinks from the normal directory layout to the "<jail>/basejail/..." location. It creates the basejail by doing a full install and then removing some parts. Maybe you can have a look at ezjail to see the requirements of it? It's simple to setup, you just need to specify the path to the location where you want all jails to be installed to, and then you can install a jail (it does a buildworld if ou do not tell to skip this part, e.g. becuse you already did one yourself).
