I propose to have virt-dib included. The newer review request was published 
few days ago:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2015-June/msg00105.html

virt-dib is an alternative engine for running diskimage-builder elements. 
It allows to run them in a more secure way, providing isolation from the host 
environment.

I didn't test the last revision, but I helped testing images generated with 
the first versions; both plain images and more complex ones, like the images 
used by OpenStack Sahara (few combination of operating systems and Hadoop 
versions).
Few small errors can pop up of course with more testing, but I think that the 
structure is fine. I can't comment on the code, though.

Ciao
