  Description     : An alternative Debian installer using vmdb2 and ansible

v-i installs a very basic Debian onto a PC. It's entirely
non-interactive and unhelpful. The author wrote it so that repeated
installations would be less of a chore than using the official Debian
installer.

v-i uses vmdb2 to install onto bare metal hardware.
vmdb2 is a program to create a disk image virtual machines
with Debian, by the same author. It "installs Debian" to a file
representing a hard drive. It's basically debootstrap, except the
target is a disk image instead of a directory. It's used to create
Debian images for Raspberry Pis.

I'd like to package this as part of the installer-team, but I haven't
yet asked their permission or had any grace from them.
