Since VMs would be set up from images this is not required.

For our (CSAIL's) managed Ubuntu VMs this happens semi-automatically.
For a generic Debian I would want someone else to be keeping an eye on
it.  (I already do this for the FreeBSD buildslaves.)

Installation and configuration of the actual buildslave is something
that I can do, but since I'm not familiar with doing it on Debianoid
systems it would be nicer to have a recipe to follow.  (On our managed
Ubuntu platform we would get Puppet to do this, if there was any
chance of having more than one VM.)
