And debootstrap is already unbearably slow.
I don't think it's a good use of your time to work on improving it, though.
We already have mmdebstrap functional -- it's an order of magnitude faster
than debootstrap. It should just be integrated into d-i and the like.
Then there's my zdebootstrap (unfinished PoC) that's extra two orders of
magnitude faster than that. I had no time to hack on it in a while, though.
Thus, I guess you'd want to adapt mmdebstrap to your needs.
