That was easy enough.  Had to install virtualbox, git, vmdebootstrap and
quite a few dependencies.

Tried to build for virtualbox.  It failed. The loop device the script
assumes doesn't exist on Debian Jessie.

ERROR: command failed: ['mkfs', '-t', 'ext4', '/dev/mapper/loop0p1']

The files that exist are:

home/fbx> ls /dev/mapper
control

home/fbx> ls /dev/loop*
/dev/loop0
/dev/loop1
/dev/loop2
/dev/loop3
/dev/loop4
/dev/loop5
/dev/loop6
/dev/loop7
/dev/loop-control

I'll keep investigating at a later time, but in the meantime, any
suggestions as to how to fix this will be welcome.

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
