I was expecting to be able to use an "empty" file (I just created it using aqema and put an Ubuntu inside it -- just to be sure there was a well formatted file system inside).

Any VM image should work, as long as there's a bootable Linux inside.

Of course, you'll need to install liblitmus inside the VM to do anything useful. I typically compile outside of the VM and rsync the binaries into the VM. A more elegant solution is to use NSF; there are KVM+NSF setup instructions on the wiki.
