The issue is that supermin has lots of dependencies on the host. On VM
hosts this is often a not very well taken by the admins. That's why I
thought about supplying the appliance seperately. Having supermin
working would be a great thing nevertheless.
BTW.: the recent work on the Debian packages should make some of the
Ubuntu stuff superflous.
