*Preface: I don't know the answer to your question. I'm hoping someone with more knowledge will come along and help out. In the meantime, here's some tidbits regarding what I found:
It looks like there are two ways to pack the system.img as you mentioned above, depending on the file system. I found methods for both ext4 and yaffs file systems. Know which system you are using before proceeding.
It also seems to be a consensus that if you're trying to create a system.img from the system folder on your android device, making a NANDROID backup is the quick and easy way to go.
