This does look awesome!
I can't wait trying this.
So, let's try to clarify what's unclear to me,
in order to find the best way to deploy a testing setup :)

Just curious: is this requirement brought in by the sikuli gem?

The following questions refer to this documentation.

Any hint / idea / pointer why?
Also, it's not clear to me what "guest or host" means in there:
- "on the VM guest or host who does the tests"
- "everything happens on the host or guest where the build happen"
Could you please clarify this kind of sentences?
I guess this means "the system", that may be either a bare-metal one,
or itself some kind of VM (with nested virtualization enabled), right?
Also, I'm unsure about "where the build happen". Do you mean "where
the tests are run from", or anything else?

Have you by chance found a way to *emulate* a USB 2.0 device in
software? (qemu-kvm from current Debian testing/sid supports USB 2.0
passthrough, but this is quite different as far as automated tests
are concerned.)

Do you want to {add references to,file} the corresponsding RFP bugs,
or shall I?

Providing a guest XML skeleton would be perfect :)

What do you mean? Some unused X display?
