I have no experience with User Mode Linux, or other virtual machiens, or
at least not yet. This means that I am not likely to come up with an
implementation for this soon, but I would happily accept one if someone
else makes one.
Perhaps it would simplify things if I add an option to piuparts that
tells it to use an existing directory tree as the chroot, instead of
insisting on creating it oneself (whether with debootstrap or by
unpacking a tarball). Comments? Something like
piuparts --use-directory=/srv/uml-chroot-cow
piuparts would then not delete the tree afterwards, either, of course.
