Does the builder VM must be reside on hardware owned by Debian ? I though this was somehow a goal we set to label the images as 'official'. But maybe it's enough if the build is taking place in a Debian controlled environment like you mentioned ? I was mostly researching for a replacement for petterson-live (which builds live image and openstack images), so we can non-priveledged VM builds also locally. Emmanuel
