For that to work, getting debootstrap work would be good. I'm not sure fakechroot support for debootstrap is up-to-date, or fakeroot-ng will do the trick. There was some interest from some people, but that interest seems to wear off pretty quickly for some reason. If you feel strongly enough and get some working patches and will to maintain the patch, I would be willing to help you out. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
