And what debian-cloud team? (CCing them)

I don't know if that it's outside of the tasks of the team (what do you
think guys?) but it would be nice if you can provide properly
maintained and signed images?

I'm a member of that team (I'm almost inactive although) but maybe we
can contribute with that. For example, I have a very simple image in my
web page[1] generated with debootstrap and signed with my key since is
the only one I trust so far to play around with docker.

Could you elaborate on *why* you prefer packer? What are the advantages over bootstrap-vz?
As I see it right now, I'd like to ask the question whether you could send packer via email or whether it would fit on a floppy (if you catch my drift).
