virtualbox caches boot isos
When on replaces the boot iso and restart the VM, virtualbox continues to use the boot iso until the VM is stop then start (instead of reset & the like).
This makes debuging ISOs harder than needed

> That's still true

Shouldn't this be reported upstream instead (to both virt-manager and virtualbox if it's still valid in both)? Of course we can keep this bug report open to keep track of the upstream issues but my understanding is that it's not something we can fix in packaging.
