This is usually achieved by backporting the new vmbuilder for older release, either in PPAs, or in e.g. intrepid-backports. I don't think we can anticipate the needs of newer releases, and debootstrap needs to be updated anyway (i.e. we need a debootstrap backport).
Since this is more of a process improvement, perhaps you can suggest this on the ubuntu-server@ mailing-list instead of in a bug report? ** Changed in: vm-builder (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- can't install new Ubuntu releases with old vm-builder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vm-builder in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
