Yes, it works since commit 6987cb6464d57b59ee629e44e49810a176a95b1c
(2016-11-21). So you will need to create your initvm with the latest
devel/elbe-2.0 code.

Also, on your initvm you will need to install the "testing" version of
the "debootstrap" package. You can download that package from:

  https://packages.debian.org/stretch/all/debootstrap/download

and then manually install it with:

  dpkg -i debootstrap_*_all.deb

Once that is installed in the initvm, you can generate stretch and sid
root filesystems.
