For those who may not already be aware, some sort-of prior art is
virt-sysprep[1], which TTBOMK originates more on the Red Hat side of
things but is also in libguestfs-tools in Debian. Package-based hooks
still have potential use, just if one is going to implement this sort of
procedure it's worth making sure one hasn't missed anything relevant
from the virt-sysprep list to start with.
