[pve-devel] Create template from CT

[Daniel Hunsaker]

The backup/restore method isn't intended for distribution-worthy templates,
so this tends to be a non-issue.  If you have access to do backup/restore,
you have access to get at sensitive files within the CTs and backups
already anyway.

Ultimately, since the vast majority of template creation is necessarily
manual, the tar step being manual as well is a minimal amount of overhead
which preserves the principle of least surprise as a side effect.  Unless
we *can* make a magic method for removing all the sensitive stuff, we
should avoid allowing screwing the whole process up through ignorance by
not putting the option in the web interface.

Out of curiosity, how exactly are you setting up the CTs for conversion if
you're not using SSH?
