Thx!
BTW: What is the prefered way to discuss some ideas around qemubuilder?
Some background:
I'm assigned to setup and care about a test and validation setup for
linux systems on embedded devices. We are using Debian to build our
systems. We spend a couple of time in developing an automated system for
a reliable and reproducable way to build our systems:

IMHO the source of qemubuilder needs some refactoring:
1) Arch configuration: Make all(nearly all) hardcoded values
configurable. I am contemplate in a per architecture configuration
snippets.
2) Error handling: Fix return value. qemubuilder returned 0 in almost
every situation. This is awkward in an automated build environment.
3) Coding style: It would be nice to have one :)

Bene
