Debian changelog in Git:

debvm (0.5.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  This release drops support for running on bookworm as it now uses
  mkfs.ext4's libarchive support for creating a filesystem from a tar.

  [ Jochen Sprickerhof ]
  * *-create: Refuse overwriting images
  * debefivm-run: only use the console in nographics mode
  * Restructure source repository to look more like an installation
  * useraddhook: use passwd from host and --prefix (Closes: salsa#24)

  [ Helmut Grohne ]
  * debefivm-create: avoid chrooting in chrootless mode
  * The transitional qemu-user-static has been dropped
  * record package requirements for piping a tar to mke2fs
  * consistently use SPDX-FileCopyrightText
  * *-create: only use the maybe-merged-usr hook when needed
  * *-run: lower gic-version for arm32 to 2
  * autopkgtests: explicitly depend on mount
  * debvm-create: use numfmt for parsing the --size argument

  [ Jochen Sprickerhof and Helmut Grohne ]
  * Fail sensibly when required commands are missing
  * Prefer using the VM's systemctl over the host's
  * Use mkfs.ext4 with tarball
  * Add /sbin to $PATH

  [ Luca Boccassi ]
  * autologin: prefer credentials to monkey patching unit (Closes: #1120943)

    autopkgtest: skip riscv64 as the emulation is too slow

    customize-resolved.sh: explicitly install systemd-resolved
    
    libnss-resolve used to depend on systemd-resolved, but no longer does.
    In principle, we'd like to just --include it, but that would break
    suites before bookworm. Then we might --include it with as an apt
    pattern, but we cannot easily match the native architecture so that
    would break multiarch vms. Therefore we use the hook to install it if
    the libnss-resolve version indicates that it should exist.
