I suppose we also need to rebuild the STRETCH64 base in case you haven't
done it yet

thanks, setting STOP_ON_ERROR=1 in a class var

indeed produced the expected outcome

VM_IMAGE/30-remove-root-pw FAILED with exit code 1.
VM_IMAGE/40-activate-dhcp-on-first-nic OK.
Error in task configure. Code: 420
