Hi, You can also add another project : https://github.com/clalancette/oz
I heard many good things about it at FOSDEM. Last version seems to work with latest Ubuntu. I created a launchpad project : https://launchpad.net/oz and ppas : https://launchpad.net/~oz-packagers/+archive/daily https://launchpad.net/~oz-packagers/+archive/stable I don't know what is the best way now. I do many work on vmbuilder ("Fixes for oneiric"), but my work may not be enough clean (no 1 commit by feature) to be merged now and it's a big architecture change. vmbuilder seems to have a very limited community, maybe a way it to help a project like oz to be more Ubuntu friendly and switch to it. Best Regards.
