OK.  Fair enough; it read to me, especially as it was a response to my
previous email, like advocacy — but I know that intent can be hard to read in
email. :)

In any case, you are right that a VM might be less confusing to someone who
isn't familiar with Unix.  I guess I was assuming that someone aiming to build
Debian packages had enough experience for it to make sense ... and that
probably isn't a safe assumption.
