Here-documents break the indentation of the script; replace them with

stripping leading TABs from the here-docs, but the script itself does not
use TABs for indentation, so that would introduce a different kind of
inconsistency.)
Because we use a quoted word ('EOF') for our delimiter in the
here-documents, variables in the here-docs are not expanded; stick with
that.
Use a sole '%s\n' format operand with each printf invocation: "[t]he
/format/ operand shall be reused as often as necessary to satisfy the
/argument/ operands"

(I've tried to regression-test this with the two latest Ubuntu images:
ubuntu-18.04, ubuntu-20.04. The former wouldn't build, and the latter only
booted to a GDM login screen. My build host is RHEL-9.1, so the kiosk is
not actually expected to work. Any further investigation here is left to
Ubuntu users.
The Fedora 37 image works fine, even with the virt-p2v binary coming from
RHEL-9.1.)

It seems like it applies the format pattern to every parameter?!
I verified this works both with bash printf and coreutils.
bash info says:
The FORMAT is reused as necessary to consume all of the ARGUMENTS.
If the FORMAT requires more ARGUMENTS than are supplied, the extra
format specifications behave as if a zero value or null string, as
appropriate, had been supplied. The return value is zero on
success, non-zero on failure.
and almost the same text appears in coreutils info.
So there we are. ACK!
Rich.
