Debian images for Windows Azure must use a dedicated provisioning agent. This 
agent has an Apache 2 licence, and is available on github 
(https://github.com/Windows-Azure/WALinuxAgent). There's a debian package in 
the works as well (http://contrib.hupstream.com/azure/debian/). 

Is that license okay or do you want me to investigate other options ?

About packaging : Windows Azure packages images in VHD format. I currently use 
hyper-v to create and manage VHD files but there's other options if needed. 

Pierre
