Indeed, there's only libnbd there. Presumably nbdkit is something Martin hasn't got around to adding ? With recentish changes though there's no longer any need to add projects directly to libvirt-ci.git. They can be kept locally in the project eg nbdkit.git/ci/projects/nbdkit.yml then use 'lcitool --data-dir ci' and it'll find the nbdkit.yml when searching for projects. libvirt-ci.git will only need modifying it distro package mappings need additions/changes.
