I'm not complete clear on what change is being made to Debian. However from the build log, the problem is that 'libsystemd.so.0' isn't making it into the appliance.
This seems to be because the following upstream commit shoud be backported to the 1.26 branch (either in Debian or upstream): commit a36dde98899ea160a49c9af65a883383496cd331 Author: Hilko Bengen <ben...@hilluzination.de> Date: Fri Sep 19 18:55:50 2014 +0200 appliance: Add libsystemd0 (and systemd as an alternative for sysvinit) on Debian-based systems Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.
