Comment:

 Some things I noted while testing the setup:

 I hit:
 {{{
 W: Cannot check Release signature; keyring file not available
 /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
 }}}
 while creating the Linux images which scares me. Can we do something about
 it? Is that an issue?

 Further, upon starting the build I always get a bunch of
 {{{
 base-wheezy-i386 already exists, please remove it first
 base-wheezy-amd64 already exists, please remove it first
 }}}
 messages. Do we need to do something to get rid of them?

 Finally, I've looked at the LXC tips section in the README.md but could
 not find a hint why we need sudo privs now to create the images. This is
 not an issue with the tor-browser-builder-3 branch. Any ideas?
