sbuild-qemu is just a simple wrapper around autopkgtest-build-qemu that
simplifies the image customziation process.

sbuild-qemu doesn't need vmdb2 itself; it only depends on it because
autopkgtest only suggest vmdb2. This makes sense, are there are many
backends other than qemu for autopkgtest.

I haven't looked at the code changes in vmdb2 but I'm confident that if
autopkgtest gets updated accordingly, everything should be fine for
sbuild-qemu. Either way, I'm happy to help.

Best,
Christian
