I copied libvirt-ci.git/guests/lcitool/lcitool/ansible/vars/projects/libnbd.yml to ci/projects/nbdkit.yml. I'll probably have to adjust the packages in that file, but it did allow me to re-run the command above and regenerate the templates.

I meant would the "manifest" subcommand do anything weird (ie. not just updating the templates), but it seems fine.
