    .gitlab-ci.yml: explicitly install gpgv for jessie
    
    The jessie test was broken by apt defaulting to sqv in the sense that
    mmdebstrap's gpgvnoexpkeysig requires gpgv, but it no longer is being
    installed. The earlier error message was not diagnosing this, but
    Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues kindly debugged and fixed that on the
    mmdebstrap side. Thanks! Now with a proper error message, a missing gpgv
    can be easily addressed. apt will still prefer sqv for everything but
    jessie.

    debian/control: add qemu-system-native alternative
    
    That package is fairly recent and does not exist in bookworm. On the
    flip side, it more accurately expresses what we want as debvm-run
    actually prefers the qemu-ARCH executable name over the kvm name.

    debian/tests: explicitly install qemu-system-misc for loong64
    
    loong64 does not yet have a qemu package that provides qemu-kvm, but we
    really don't need kvm. All we need is the right qemu binary.

    debian/tests: tighten dependency on qemu-kvm
    
    The native test really wants to run kvm (whether it uses kvm or tcg is
    another question), but debvm only depends on qemu-kvm | qemu-system-any.
    The latter alternative is of little use for the test and makes it fail.

    document that dpkg-dev is required
    
    It's already a dependency in debian/control, but was missing from the
    README.

    debvm-create: implement password deletion with correctly quoted sed
    
    While using the --prefix option is great, it's only available in trixie.
    Hence, revert back to sed, this time getting the quoting right (by
    avoiding backslashes using character sequences) and also apply to all
    lines of the file as systemd seems to be adding users to the front.

    debvm-create: revert back to passwd for deleting the root password
    
    We should avoid --root as that will chroot and load libraries. The sed
    solution somehow didn't work due to a quoting issue. What we can use is
    passed --prefix as that avoids loading libraries and explicitly does not
    support NIS and LDAP, which we don't need here.

    debvm-create: avoid using passwd --delete
    
    passwd will chroot() into the target tree and then load shared
    libraries. This tends to work badly for old releases and for foreign
    architectures or combinations thereof. As a result, it sometimes fails
    with
    
        Cannot determine your user name.
    
    In practice, it removes a single asterisk from the first line of
    /etc/shadow (at least for jessie to trixie). This is something, we can
    also do via sed.
