I cleaned my script a bit, but it's still pretty much ad-hoc and adapted
to my setup: it starts with restoring a VM snapshot, then starts that
VM.  In my case, the snapshot has the base system installed, plus
PostgreSQL, and a mini-dinstall generating a repository that's
registered in the sources.list.  And on the workstation side, dput is
configured to push to that mini-dinstall instance (hence the invocations
of debrelease in the script).  Also note that the workstation is
configured to SSH the node as root by default, and that an appropriate
SSH key has been installed on the node.

  Still, I'm attaching it to this message, as they say, in the hope that
it will be useful, but without any warranty.  Also attached are
dbconfig-common preseed files. Feel free to tweak and adjust.

  Given I'm still not familiar enough with what the various components
are meant to do, I guess I'll pass on that one.

  No idea what regions and cells are, but I agree with the idea of
meta-packages.  I'll see what I can do.
