Hi,
just a short heads up about the current status of libguestfs on Debian:

Current git master builds and works fine on Debian sid. The only change
you have to make is to use a custom kernel instead of the one in
squeeze/sid by pointing DEBIRF_KERNEL_PACKAGE in
appliance/debian/debirf.conf to something recent enough (>= 2.6.35)
like:

DEBIRF_KERNEL_PACKAGE=/foo/linux-image-2.6.36-rc7+_2.6.36-rc7+-20_i386.deb

Otherwise libguesfsd quits early since the virtio-serial device won't be
created in the guest.
Cheers,
 -- Guido
