Bug Description

If you interrupt the operation of python-vm-builder with the KeyboardInterrupt, it won't clean up after itself. The version of vmbuilder that comes with Karmic I believe might do this (haven't checked, but it does seem to go through a cleanup step). This would be friendly behavior.

I have a fix for this already. I'll upload it shortly, probably
tomorrow.

Was this issue ever resolved? I ask because on natty it appears to still be present...
