Package: vmdebootstrap (1.9-1)

Bootstrap Debian into a (virtual machine) disk image

vmdebootstrap is a wrapper around debootstrap to install Debian into a disk image, which can be used with a virtual machine (such as KVM).

syslinux and grub2 bootloaders can be supported, depending on the distribution and the architecture. An example of setting up u-boot for armhf on a beaglebone-black is included.

This package also includes documentation on using vmdebootstrap to create installation images and live images.
