This is impossibile: it will NEVER be practical to change paths like /bin/sh and /lib/ld-linux.so.2, so there will always be symlinks in the root. > - the original dpkg-shlibdeps problems was known way ahead of the > initial debootstrap switch. There was an open bug but nobody could reproduce it and the cause of the problem was not clear at all, at least to me. The adopted solution was also trivial, so if it was so obvious maybe you could have told somebody? > - the problem with misbuilds was also obvious and mentioned at least > on that same dpkg-shlibdeps bug report.

Yes, but since it does not cause practical problems I think that we can live with it. -- ciao, Marco
