This is a very common use case, in fact, Amazon Web Services has been doing
things like this for years, and Openstack does very similar things (for
distros supported on Openstack).
IMHO we should look at a tool similar to debootstrap/febootstrap that we can
use for Openstack and/or ovirt.
Maybe drakx-in-chroot/draklive would do, but the Openstack tools should give
us some means for users to access the functionality, as well as APIs that can
be called by other automated systems.
