note that, while upstream has deprecated vmdebootstrap in favor of vmdb2, I will keep this package here because it is still useful.

Hi! Would you maybe consider adding a patch from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845439 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=845439;filename=0001-Don-t-enforce-U-EFI-on-arm64.patch;msg=5)? It allows to build arm64 images for platforms such as Raspberry Pi or Librem 5.

Actually... a new package has been released with version 1.7 Can this AUR package be updated to reflect the package update? Thanks!
