CNG: Some UBI images excessively large due to chown/chmod

Summary

I was glancing at images I had locally (docker images) and noticed a slight surprise. The size of the UBI containers 🙀

image ubi size debian size
gitlab-webservice-ee 2.76 GB 1.48 GB
gitlab-workhorse-ee 1.61 GB 672 MB
gitlab-sidekiq-ee 2.77 GB 1.50 GB
gitaly 925 MB 839 MB
gitlab-shell 585 MB 917 MB

Details

We should look into the images to ensure that the contents are appropriate condensed, and we're not duplicating contents through assets, somehow.

Do we have excess in some layer(s)? Have I pulled inappropriate tags? 🤔 That discrepancy is just too big to not be investigated.
