For those who may not already be aware, some sort-of prior art is virt-sysprep[1], which TTBOMK originates more on the Red Hat side of things but is also in libguestfs-tools in Debian. Package-based hooks still have potential use, just if one is going to implement this sort of procedure it's worth making sure one hasn't missed anything relevant from the virt-sysprep list to start with. -RTT [1] http://libguestfs.org/virt-sysprep.1.html
