Looking at your code, I'd conclude that's also more or less how
NeuroDebian VM builder works...

So Debian can't load preseed files from the diskette like kickstart
files? ^__^ If you insert a virtual diskette, there is no need to modify
the image. Also, this method is easier then messing with a DHCP server.

In any case, I'm glad you've got it working. Just hope that at some
point libvirt will add more complete support for VirtualBox... 

... but in the end, this might be not even needed? Can't it export
KVM/QEMU machines as OVF?
