This looks like a really good idea!
I run autopkgtest on a QEMU virtual machine testbed with:
$ autopkgtest $OTHER_OPTIONS \
-- qemu --boot=efi --overlay-dir /dev/shm \
unstable-autopkgtest-amd64.img
It would be really great, if I could also use the same QEMU virtual
machine image to run piuparts!
Please, pretty please, implement this new feature in piuparts!
