There is a large distance between systems on which users are likely to build gnome from scratch (which involves installing many dependencies anyway), and systems on which users may want to run debootstrap. The latter can include embedded systems that don't have a compiler and are not of a common architecture, which makes xz difficult to install. It would be best if debootstrap's dependencies remained limited to things that are commonly enabled in busybox. -- see shy jo
