 > There is a pending pull request (https://github.com/defreez/gitian-
 builder/commit/7ad593397283b07a9006613e16ec95974c724465) that allows to
 basically get rid of the vmbuilder dependency when using LXC.

 Alas, it seems like a ton of work is still needed to get that right as
 this pull request is still bound to using Ubuntu as the OS. E.g. it needs
 the ubuntu template which is for instance not available on Debian and so
 on. Thus, we need a different approach.
