Interesting - I had no idea about this feature before.
At the moment it's not possible to do this within virt-builder,
without patching virt-builder. I guess maybe you can post-convert the
file after virt-builder has run?
I grepped the source of virt-install and it doesn't seem like it has
support either. Nor does libvirt.
It should be possible to use virt-customize on these special qcow2
files, although I didn't try it.
