[elbe-devel] Start initvm on system boot as normal user

Thanks for this valuable remark! We are using Buildbot (http://buildbot.net) for automation, which provides similar functionality I think, but anyway it's good to know the alternatives.

BTW Don't you observe that the initvm is growing in size after each build - I see a considerable growth of several GBs (!) after each 'elbe submit', however I did not investigate it closer yet (I use --keep-files option to extract additional files like the initramfs, etc after the build, but then I 'elbe control del_project' to clear the leftovers).

Best regards,
Lukasz
