I would make this a self.settings.string_list type option instead.
This is an option type provided by cliapp that means the value is a
list of strings. Thus

    vmdebootstrap --debootstrap-option --foo --debootstrap-option --bar

would result in a value ["--foo", "--bar"], rather than having the
program have to parse the option value itself. This also means that
the cliapp configuration file parsing can handle this automatically.
