Comment 5 for bug 468809

Ok - I didn't know this option did exist (the documentation is incomplete, but this has been already reported). The proposed solution sounds better than my initial workaround thoughts, but still it sounds like tinkering. I would have to script copying the files into the filesystem, chrooting into it and then running dpkg for installing them.

Does it really makes sense to re-implement this? I mean, vm-builder does already the same, just limited to packages available on the mirror.
