Package: xen-tools
Version: 4.9.2-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

dpkg is extra cautious when installing packages and thus emits sync()
barriers to make sure things don't get corrupt on power loss. But when
creating a VM, we don't need such safety, we can just recreate it from
scratch. So xen-create-image's call to debootstrap should use eatmydata,
to avoid the costly sync() calls and thus get way faster.
