vm-builder

Hi,

Years ago it was decided that vm-builder would be deprecated in favor
of alternatives (cloud images, live-build, and some others).  This was
dicussed at at least two separate physical UDSes.  However, it was
never actually dropped from the archive.  As a result people kept
using it despite it being considered deprecated and no longer
maintained.  This is resulting in people losing data and time, i.e.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vm-builder/+bug/1090223

I intend to open a bug to ask that it be removed from the archive
for trusty.  If anyone objects, please reply here.

thanks,
-serge
