Because all the buildslaves are running different distributions I have 
not made a template VM yet.
If we do, we should consider setting up some infra software (puppet, 
bcfg2, cfengine, whatever). I haven't done so yet because the effort 
would have outweighed the benefit for the buildslaves.
The FSF seems to be using bcfg2, so it might make sense to derive our 
installation from that. Bernie, what do you think?

LTS or "regular" releases? I.e. do we need the latest features (and 
breakages)?
