Bug Description

To install the Xen instance, the image name must be exactly "image.vhd" and also has that is compressed with tar and gzip. The correct name would have to take any image and do not need to be compressed.

Thanks

Based on comment #2 the effort is driven by bp "bare-vhd-image" [1].
'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist" to avoid that we track
the progress with two different work items (bp <-> bug report).
