[Piuparts-devel] Bug#815084: piuparts: add piuparts.1 and README documentation for --adt-virt

Hi,

it seems piuparts supports virtualisation backends via adt-virt-* programs  
which abstract several backends behind a common interface. That way, sbuild in 
experimental recently gained support for lxc, qemu and ssh backends without   
carrying its own code for each.

That's totally cool, but without proper documentation only few will use it.

+    parser.add_option('', "--adt-virt",
+                      metavar='CMDLINE', default=None,
+                      help="Use CMDLINE via autopkgtest (adt-virt-*)"
+                           " protocol instead of managing a chroot.")

is the only documentation from piuparts.py itself, but --adt-virt should also 
be explained in the piuparts.1 manpage and with examples (one for qemu, one 
for lxc) in the README.

Thanks to josch for making me aware of this! (And most of the wording of the 
first paragraph of this bugreport too :)


cheers,
	Holger
