Bug Description

Hi,

the vm-builder package may be pulled from the archive in trusty due to be un-maintained.

If possible, please switch to either downloading official ubuntu cloud images (which can be fetched using simple-streams and can then be pre-seeded with ssh keys), or using uvtool to set up images.

debdiff Edit (15.5 KiB, text/plain)

Here is a debdiff which at least shows how to go about making
this work with uvtool. It brings me up to the following point
which I do not believe to be related to this conversion.

I won't be able to work on this again until February; it would
be great if the dependence on vmbuilder could be removed before
that.
