very cool!

does jenkins.kfreebsd.eu get it's configuration from this very git repo? 
http://pyro.eu.org/git/?p=jenkins.debian.net ?

if so, how do you disable the jobs you dont want? 
 
hm, your git repo has no job-cfg commits for these new tests, so probably not 
:/

nice. I'll leave it to Simon to comment on this part.

once it has a job-cfg, I'll be happy to merge. initsystem.yaml sounds like a 
proper name for this to me.
