- Qubes: Josh: I've done automated Deb builds using Debian installer. That's the approach I would take. There's a whole bunch of questions it asks you and that you have to answer. Using Deb installer you write a config file that answers all these questions. When you're booting the ISO you can give an option to use the installer w/ config.
Ubuntu can also use kickstart.
Conor: packer seems to describe this use case.
Action: Josh to investigate use of Packer for creating predictable Ubuntu image with required config + dependencies
