"accommodate" and "requirement"

Ian, are you OK with this generic change or would you prefer a runvar? I
suspect the answer is going to be runvar.

"Debian".

I'm not sure I follow what this one is saying though, does "there" refer
to the rootfs of the VM which is being built here?

I think a more conventional way to do this would be to use:
        s/^deb *cdrom/#&/g

Please do only for the nested job i.e. using a runvar.

I think this ought to be driven from a runvar as well, e.g. <gn>_minram.
