For how long bootstrap-vz should support squeeze/oldstable?
Hi,
I've posted the original message on the bootstrap-vz issue tracker[1], but
looks like the debian-cloud mailing list is a better place to discuss the
matter:

So, I would like to ask: is there anybody out there building squeeze/oldstable
images using bootstrap-vz?

Tiago.
