Control: tags -1 + patch
I figured out the grub-probe problem. It was really just grub being
outdated because I was building a stable Debian system instead of the
unstable one I believed I was building.
Using testing or unstable, grub was able to find the correct device,
but thanks to the fact that --bootsize and --grub were incompatible,
grub did not have enough space at the start of the disk to install
itself there. I changed the partition code to reserve 1 MiB at the
start, similar to the amount reserved when --bootsize were not used.
With this change in place, vmdebootstrap could create images with a
btrfs subvolume as root.
The attached patch is working. Please include in a future version of
vmdebootstrap.

Happy hacking
