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.
