The real question with stubdomains is about how to build them at all
so that they're available from within a Debian/Linux distribution,
given that what you want is a binary that consists of code from dozens
of Debian packages (e.g., qemu + all its dependencies) re-compiled for
a different environment (minios or rump kernels).  See the "fork" of
the thread we had on this subject.

(And of course the same if you s/Debian/$SOME_OTHER_DISTRO/;)
