This is good stuff... I also just wanted to give people the option to
include the chef run or not... so they could still build either a debian or
ubuntu box... but if they don't like / want to run chef they could keep
that completely out of the build process. Maybe also give them the option
to substitute the chef run with an ansible play book, or a puppet run.. .etc
