[elbe-devel] [ISSUE] Initvm - Debian installer

So this week I've lost an entire day because I needed to created a new
initvm ..

Everything work perfectly in Elbe v8 .. not on master

The first obvious problem, the 'key' tag is not preprocess in initvm.  You
can cherry-pick a fix for that from branch devel/dion/fix-key, commit
97dd1d5912cf0c277e75f24eaa022a04e706f0ce.

Now that's out of the way, the Debian' installer is launching and fails
at step 14 (installation of packages I think).  If you try to redo the
step 14 in the installer it will fail again .. 1 hour later!  And that's
not all.  There's _tons_ of packages missing.  Cherry on top,
apt-listchanges is broken and you will only notice it once you've
submitted something to initvm after the debootstrap step.

So today I've decided to do a little bisection of master and well I am
apparently to blame ..

Before jumping to conclusion, I would like to know if anyone has indeed
the same problem that I am describing since I am not using Debian on my
work station.
