This step makes running the kameleon build command require the root privileges, which is not necessary for any other recipe. Rather use the export_appliance helper (which uses guestmount but does not need root privileges).

The build VM is not bootable (bootloader installed ?). As a result, guestmount does not work for the export.
Since we would like to possibly export qcow files as well, making the qcow file bootable seems a good idea.

guestmount is not looking for a bootloader but for vmlinuz and initrd files to extract and use directly within qemu. This seems to not function with nixos partitioning / non-standard file hierarchy. Need to dive in and find out how to possibly give some insight to guestmount with its -m option.

…not work with nixos) Do not use virt-customize to push the ssh key of root because that does not work with nixos, push it earlier in the autoinstall script.
…age. This should be done before export, not right away, so that debugging in the qemu vnc console is possible.
