APT expects certain filesystem markers to indicate that it is a Debian
system, you can override it by using a configuration directive
apt-get -o apt::system="Debian dpkg interface"
Also, static linking often fails to collect global static objects into the
resulting binary - this means you don't actually have any support for
dpkg, etc. apt-get -v tells you if that is the case. Adding a reference to
'debSys' in init.cc is sufficient to solve that.
