I'll sync-up with Andre and reply back here when we've got something sensible. One extra point that I don't think has been mentioned in this thread so far is that separating kvmtool from the kernel sources is likely a prerequisite for distribution packaging. Once we've got something sorted out, I'll poke some friendly local debian developers and see if they can't package it up for us. Will
