Hi, Helmut While dpkg name for Loongarch is still under discussion[0], rebootstrap can be done parallelly.
I have initialed some work at https://salsa.debian.org/zhangn1985/rebootstrap corrently git commit msg is a mess, just recorder of my work. reorder commit msg is on my TODO list, but I need some rest. with additional patches in my fork, rebootstrap passes for Loongarch. at the moment, it can pass, but rebootstrap is based on sid, it's a live repo, thus I can't make sure whether it still pass when you read this mail. but it's good start and reference when Loongarch finally accepted by Debian. feel free to reuse my work. below are the issues I meet when running rebootstrap 1, glibc I don't know why localedata build failed, I think it's not arch related. 2, gcc multiarch fix 3, diffutil need upstream fix. 4, binutils, libffi, openssl, linux Debian build support for Loongarch 5, guile upstream not support, already submit a patch[1] for review. 6, libxcrypt upstream patch, and symbles update. 7, libevent update symbles 8, jemalloc removed. build failed, due to "pszind_t undefined", but I don't kown how to fix, looks odd. 9, newt removed build failed, it builds with nopython, but still search python.h, and fail to build. 10, nghttp2 skipped due to jemalloc failed. 11, cdebconf skipped due to newt failed. 12, base-passwd skipped due to cdebconf failed. 13, gmp I don't know why gmp not build automaically, thus build it manually.
