vmdebootstrap seems to use the following method for picking the kernel
package name:

    def kernel_package(self):
        packages = []
        if self.settings['no-kernel'] or self.settings['kernel-package']:
            return packages
        if self.settings['arch'] == 'i386':
            # wheezy (which became oldstable on 04/25/2015) used '486'
            if self.was_oldstable(datetime.date(2015, 4, 26)):
                kernel_arch = '486'
            else:
                kernel_arch = '586'
        elif self.settings['arch'] == 'armhf':
            kernel_arch = 'armmp'
        elif self.settings['arch'] == 'ppc64el':
            kernel_arch = 'powerpc64le'
        else:
            kernel_arch = self.settings['arch']
        packages.append('linux-image-%s' % kernel_arch)
        return packages

If you give vmdebootstrap the --kernel-package to set the kernel
package for Hurd (whatever that is), does that work? I don't know how
to get live-wrapper to do that, never having tried it.

You may also want to use the --no-acpid option.
