5. Debian-Installer (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/).
On AWS, it is also possible to use Debian-Installer directly, but I have not
figured out how to make it install Debian on a partitionless volume (like
/dev/xvdb intead of /dev/xvdb1). If this problem were solved, creating
Debian images would be as simple as booting Debian-Installer with a preseed
file passed as instance metadata, and registering the installed system.

(the other blocker to do thinks neatly is the lack of official images with
cloud-init, however at that point, I am still lacking the time to check if
cloud-init is even working at all on Debian.)
On other Cloud platforms, using Debian-Installer might be even simpler. Are
there specific points that make people avoid using Debian-Installer ?
Have a nice day,
