I was trying to create a wheezy box, and it crashed.

But the same thing worked fine in a stretch vm. After a bit of
confusion, followed by some help on #debian-devel, it looks like this
may be because my kernel was too new for wheezy.
4.11.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.11.6-1 (2017-06-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Assuming so, and if there's some reasonable way for sbuild to detect
this situation, it'd be nice if sbuild could just tell me why that's
never going to work.
Thanks
