Ah. That’s an SDL issue. X forwarding is sucky. Use VNC, although
you can’t use the local console with that.
Haven’t tried RDP. It’s said to handle keycodes better than VNC.
Maybe that could work.
Otherwise, just initialise the images locally (set the hostname,
add some entropy, change the root password, a-g i openssh-server)
then rsync them over.

Absolutely not! The example instructions use a routed network
with masquerading for outgoing connections, not bridged. You
can use bridged, but then you have to change /e/n/i in the
image to use 'inet dhcp' (can be done after booted).

Normally WFM. I’ll retry as soon as I get time and local access
to a Debian machine capable of doing it.

Meh; buildds shouldn’t be “contaminated” either. I make sure of
that for mine and what I consider contamination – the chroots do
not have a trace of stuff not in Debian, for example.
