FWIW -- I have pushed my slight refinements on top of Tiziano's
changes just to make wheezy VMs build -- enh/wheezy-vm on alioth:

http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-exppsy/neurodebian.git

Theoretically it could still be used to build "stable" squeeze VMs
but I haven't tried yet.

Meanwhile we could actually release these wheezy-based VMs into
the wild to see what people think -- worth it?  imho might be worth it
if people start catching some grave bugs before wheezy actually gets
released -- there is a better chance to get them fixed for wheezy.

also -- this one uses XFCE4 as the desktop, so things remain
fluent/lightweight in the VM.

feedback is welcome
