[Bug 468809] Re: Support adding custom debs from a local apt repository

Actually what you would have to do is:

1/ use the --copy option to copy your deb in the image
2/ use the --execscript to launch a script that 
  * chroot $1
  * dpkg -i <yourdeb>

Does not sounds like much tinkering to me, but agree that we could
consider this a wishlist item to allow for a --add-deb option.  Not very
hard to implement, btw.

On the documentation chapter, both --copy and --execscript do appear
when I either do a 'man vmbuilder' or 'sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu
--help', so I do not really understand your remark.
