I use the gnome-boxes app. The Express Installation feature isn't
working for Debian Testing because xserver-xorg-video-qxl isn't in
Testing, but otherwise the app works well.

If you use a GUI, I recommend installing spice-webdavd and
spice-vdagent inside the guest after it's done installing Debian and
then restart. (The Express Installation feature would do this for
you.)

Thank you,
