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.
Martin - I guess you must have created that nbdkit.yml file at some
point, but I can't find it in your fork.

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