For me shipping the VM with the application eases the installation by the user and the production of release. The alternative will be to build a .debian package of Drgeo with only the image, then do the same for each ubuntu version (the two last ubuntu LTS have different approach for 32 bits compatibilty, so debian installation script need to be different). Of course, work need to be duplicated for the different Linux systems, probably the most popular only, but still will close the door to distribution I do not provide package. I just can't cope with that.
