I think the Profitbricks Jenkins slaves are KVM guest VMs.  Some of the
existing installer tests (g-i) had stability issues with nested KVM,
which is how it boots some CD images to test them.  So for both of these
use- cases it actually seems better to have a Jenkins slave on bare
metal.

Only need around EUR 35/mo. for quad core, 32GiB RAM and 2x 3TiB disks.
There is someone I could ask, but would likely only sponsor it short-
term and may cancel at short notice.

Even better if we could build them reproducibly, and upload just a
signature ;)
