commit f3b3929361e0945c374921b30e840a08094c4db4
Author: Paride Legovini <paride@debian.org>
Date:   Wed Oct 29 20:18:09 2025 +0100

    setup-testbed: add motd-news-config to the list of packages to purge
    
    This implicitly disables the motd-news Ubuntu service, which requires
    network access and can therefore slow down the boot process.
    
    Note that it is important that the package gets *purged*, not simply
    removed, otherwise the config file would be left behind and the service
    would run.

    qemu: Implement arbitrary host directory sharing
    
    With large files, this should avoid needless writes that a --copy would
    otherwise entail.
    
    The host directory will be passed through in readonly mode by default,
    but this can be changed with the :rw modifier.
