Debootstrap is used in Debian ISO installer (debian-installer, d-i) forinitial target rootfs bootstrapping. With sync enabled, this takeshundreds of minutes to unpack and configure base system on a HDD.


With eatmydata it takes about a minute.

What could be done to introduce eatmydata into debootstrap? Are propsedpatches above (in message 50 and before) are not correct or not conformto Debian style or policy? If so, what should be improved?
