Hi,
steps to reproduce:
$ debvm-create
[...]
$ debvm-run
[...]
root@testvm:~# systemctl status systemd-binfmt.service
○ systemd-binfmt.service - Set Up Additional Binary Formats
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-binfmt.service; static)

As a result, just installing a binfmt provider will not immediately enable it.
Starting or restarting makes it work as tested by Jochen Sprickerhof
Maybe the binfmt.d trigger should restart systemd-binfmt.service so that
enabling a new binfmt works without rebooting the machine.
Thanks!
