Package: mmdebstrap Version: 0.5.1-2 Severity: wishlist Hello and thanks for developing/packaging this tool!
I wonder whether it can be used to create (without superuser privileges!) a QEMU/KVM image. I am especially interested in QEMU/KVM images suitable as autopkgtest testbeds (autopkgtest-virt-qemu), but the feature could perhaps be useful for building other minimal Debian base QEMU/KVM images as well... As you most probably know, autopkgtest-build-qemu uses vmdb2 under the hood, and vmdb2 [requires] to be run as root. I wonder whether mmdebstrap can be used in stead of vmdb2, in order to lift the superuser privilege requirement. [requires]: <https://bugs.debian.org/944386> Could this feature be implemented? It would really be awesome to have a tool that allows a regular user to create a QEMU/KVM minimal Debian image... Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks for your time and patience. Bye.
