The branch needed a separat name, because it didn't have anything to do
with the shell scripts any longer.
The vz is a generalization of the "cloud" part in the previous name.
"build-debian-cloud" was a bit misleading since two out of three providers
were not particularly "cloud"-y (kvm and vbox).

There are *some* issues in the old branch, most of them I created myself. I
am going to move the ones that are specific enough to do anything about,
the rest I'll let die :-)

Agreed.

Exactly! Also, the python version is really not a fork of any kind. It's
built from the ground up on a completely different mental model, so it made
sense to break away from any previous projects.

build-debian-cloud's master branch
Heh, you're keeping busy I see :-)
I'll merge once you send the PR.
