OK since you opened the feature box request let's fill it :) I will be only working with the packages from Marcin, so try first to be a nice upstream to him :) some suggestions for the templates * use some FHS path for output default like /var/lib/boostrap-vz ( see http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARLIBVARIABLESTATEINFORMATION ) * change the path of the virtual box guest addition iso to the one delivered virtualbox-guest-additions-iso I put my own templates work in the debian-vm-templates in alioth long term: it could also make sense to use the debian packages virtualbox-guest-source and virtualbox-guest-dkms to build the guest kernel modules. If one day we get virtualbox back in main, those will also move to main, and the build procedure does not depend on a non-free iso Thanks for the work on bootstrap-vz and the extensive documentation !
