Hi,

I am trying to run Debian as guest OS, and for that purpose
Cloud images don't quite have all I need.

Things I would like are things like:

- wayland integration (right now we have out-of-Debian solution for plumbing 
through wayland over virtio protocols with some userland support) [3]
- IME support[1] that uses host side IME to input but the guest side able to 
use it.
- virtio-snd for sound passthrough [2]
- GPU support for graphics acceleration, changes to mesa to accomodate what is 
needed.

Right now we're building our own kernel and building OS image via
debootstrap [4] and adding some massaging.  Noah's suggestiong was try
making a debian cloud image fork with a configuration that would work
reasonably well as a starter so we can think about how to
integrate. Any pointers?
