that in GCE the backports are added to the sources before the provider-specific
SetPackageRepositories happens.

bootstrap-vz

bootstrap-vz is a bootstrapping framework for Debian. It is is specifically targeted at bootstrapping systems for virtualized environments. bootstrap-vz runs without any user intervention and generates ready-to-boot images for a number of virtualization platforms. Its aim is to provide a reproducable bootstrapping process using manifests as well as supporting a high degree of customizability through plugins.

bootstrap-vz was coded from scratch in python once the bash script architecture that was used in the build-debian-cloud bootstrapper reached its limits.

Documentation

The end-user documentation for bootstrap-vz is available at andsens.github.io/bootstrap-vz. There, you can discover what the dependencies for a specific cloud provider are, see a list of available plugins and learn how you create a manifest.
