0.9 is arriving soon, based on current master:

Changes:
 vmdebootstrap (0.9-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream release
   * Add UEFI support using grub-efi
   * Ensure that the /etc/network/interfaces.d/ directory
     is created (Closes: #792182)

0.9 also introduces a check that the caller is root, even when calling
from a local directory.

After that, I am working on 1.0 which is a major refactoring, moving
code into a module to make it easier to work with the code - the
optional handling alone takes up >100 lines of code. v1.0 adds no new
functionality, just reorganises the code from 0.9. This is only
available as a local branch so far but adds a build-dependency on
python-setuptools and introduces a requirement that if running
vmdebootstrap from git, that PYTHONPATH is set to include . so that the
modules can be imported.

Installed-Size: [-97-] {+117+}
Version: [-0.9-1-] {+1.0-1+}

Most of the additional installed size is comments (copyright etc.) for
the new files.

v1.0 will be the next version to be backported to Jessie.
