It would be really nice to have a debian VM similar to the nixos ones, for testing both the installation and use of the deb package. Ideally, we would use this VM to build the deb file as well, so it is built against the official libraries and not some vendored nixpkgs glibc

There is a half-working vm on the debian-vm-test branch, but it seems to just freeze for no good reason while compiling? I tried giving it more CPU cores and memory to no avail.

Also, it would be real neat if it was possible to disable the graphical interface without disabling interactivity, consider filing an issue upstream.
