Author: Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>

consistently call mkfs.ext4 rather than mke2fs
We really want an ext4 filesystem, so we may communicate it that way.
debefivm-create already uses this name.

Author: Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>
Date: Fri Oct 31 11:21:44 2025 +0100
debvm-create: let mkfs assume zeroed storage
We already do this in debefivm-create and it makes our image a bit more
sparse.

useraddhook: weaken dependency on passwd
The --prefix option is not present for passwd in bookworm, but is
available for useradd and usermod. Enable a fallback implementation for
backporting.

debvm-create: correctly pass positional mmdebstrap arguments
We must always pass the target, because passing a mirror to debvm-create
is explicitly supported. Also pass the suite when skipping ext4.

Demote systemd requirement
As we no longer use the host's systemctl by default, we may skip
installing it in many cases.
Note that autopkgtest's setup-testbed still has uses of systemd host
tools, so we keep it there.
