Install Debian using vmdb2
=============================================================================

This is a hack for my own amusement. It's not meant to be taken
seriously.

This is a rudimentary installer of Debian based on vmdb2. It has
nothing to do with debian-install, the official Debian installer,
known as d-i. I use d-i, but would like something better:

* I'd like something I can easily modify. d-i requires building
  special udeb packages for any software that's to be part of the
  installer. v-i is happy with normal debs.

* d-i uses preseeding for automating an installation. Preseeding means
  providing answers, in a file, to questions the package may ask
  during its installation. This is fine, if a little cumbersome, but
  only helps to answer questions the packages ask. v-i lets you have
  the full power of Ansible during initial installation.

On the other hand, d-i is mature software and tested by thousands. v-i
can just barely install my own Thinkpad x220 laptop.
