No money will need to be spend. There will surely be people, who
have access to such systems at work. At least VMware also offers
free-as-in-beer variants like vmware server or ESXi. (IIRC)
I don't see a problem with offering Debian in proprietary virt formats,
it's essentially comparable to the FSF offering builds for of the GNU
userland for proprietary Unixes; to provide people an initial stepstone
to get out of their proprietary mess.
