I think the other way round is a more common usecase - having 
Dockerfiles along with the PTXdist tarball which could be used to set up 
working environments out of PTXdist and the latest OSELAS toolchain. 
Every 2 years whenever there is a new Ubuntu LTS I need to set up a 
Dockerfile to maintain older releases, especially when the used PTXdist 
and OSELAS toolchain would not build anymore on the newer Ubuntu.

If someone is interested I could share my commonly used Dockerfile for 
this usecase.
