There are various references on the Net to 'Debian From

they seem to refer to installing Debian using various
methods rather
than actually compiling it from source. I think
(c)debootstrap has
already been mentioned in this context.
"debootstrap" had not been mentioned that I recall.
It will save me from reinventing wheel.
Unfortunately it won't.
In my quick scan of the documentation I misread the first
sentence of http://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap . It states:
"debootstrap is a tool which will install a Debian base
system into a subdirectory of another, *_already installed
system_* ." [EMPHASIS added]
