As far as I know, I'm the only one using it and I didnt write anything
else that does the same thing better so far ;)

Polystrap is a tool serving a purpose similar to many existing software
packages. The only thing that makes it a bit more than another NIH
solution is the fact that you create a tarball of a foreign Debian
system without needing superuser priviliges ever throughout the whole
process. This is what others can't yet do even though it is only about
correctly connecting existing tools.

cheers, josch
