Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.25
Severity: normal

debootstrap cannot currently be built on debian kfreebsd or hurd. While
build dep makedev is installable there, it is a no-op. So, the devices.tar.gz
creation code will make an empty tarball, and a check I've just
added will cause the build to fail.

(cd dev && /dev/MAKEDEV std ptmx fd consoleonly)
Results undefined on non-Linux systems, aborting MAKEDEV invocation.
tar cf - dev | gzip -9 >devices.tar.gz
 ** devices.tar.gz is empty!
make: *** [devices.tar.gz] Error 1

(Note: Above dummied up. I have not really been building debootstrap on
freebsd, if anyone was curious about that.)

Assuming we want debootstrap to remain an arch-all package, which is
convenient as it allows updating debootstrap very quickly, we need
some way to build the linux-specific devices.tar.gz in a cross-platform way.
One way would be to add a switch or environment variable that made MAKEDEV
skip the non-Linux system check.

Alternatively, debootstrap could stop including the device tarball,
and bind mounting /dev. (It already does something similar on kfreebsd.)
However, this would mean a debootstrapped chroot would need to have its /dev
remounted after reboot (like its /proc and /sys already need to be).

devices.tar.gz was removed as of 1.0.82.  debootstrap can now be built
on !linux.

Cheers,
