Hi Lars I am not an active user of vmdebootstrap (I prefer the tools who use the debian-installer) but the cross pollinisation is good. I personally favour having different tools to build VM/cloud images, I see it like having a choice of different helpers when building debian packages. As long as you can call "debian/rules binary" you don't need to know if cdbs or debhelper is doing the work in the background. So if we could say that calling "make stable" after "cd my_cloud_provider" is enough, then the team building the images would not need to know the internals of each tool. We use this approach with Antonio in the debian-vm-templates repository on Alioth where we have three different buildtools (vmdebootstrap, packer, lxc-create) for three different platforms (libvirt, virtualbox, lxc) and it works well enough. If I need to create say a Debian libvirt image for Vagrant, I would just need to call cd libvirt-vagrant make jessie and I get my libvirt image created without having to know which tool is used in the background (in that case vmdebootstrap) Emmanuel
