This Debian-like self-building is what is happening today and yes,
we can continue like that. My mail was just thought as an invitation
to think along, not as a request for anything. If the perfect answer is
VMbuilder I don't know yet. For some it definitely is and the others
may just use someone else's image.

What I take home now is that the email has arrived, you are informed,
and you don't mind us doing what we are doing.

With best regards
