Surely it also works. However, can it integrate to the main
release? Then it can be useful.
Doing that by hand isn't so hard for simple cases (add some users with
the right uid/gid, meddle with some mounts, maybe turn on some
services). This is all I've generally needed when doing this kind of
thing and it works well.
If you're wanting to start a complex environment (say, a server with
multiple services running and a non-trivial configuration) then I
think that's a much harder problem to solve.

Bryn.
