That's one way to approach the problem; we have other issues to be worried
about:
1. debootstrap may be incorrect with --print-debs
(are we going to break pbuilder update every time debootstrap
chokes?)
2. --print-debs will certainly not include things that
user chose to install as extra (such as fakeroot/linda/lintian)
If you have a good patch that addresses these problems,
that would be interesting to see; but my gut feeling
is that this is one of the more difficult problems to solve.
