Bug Description
~$ ubuntu-vm-builder --help
Usage: ubuntu-vm-builder hypervisor suite [options]
ubuntu-vm-builder: error: You need to specify at least the hypervisor type and the series
Even if the help is specific to a hypervisor and suite, this message is useless: it needs to document the valid options for hypervisor and suite, or users will run into a brick wall.

Same goes for --version. Here it makes even less sense to require hypervisor and suite as it probably never depends on that information.
