do you need any help, for example by refining any of the patches that we have
submitted?

I want to apologize if I was at any point using an improper tone in my
communication with you. It is just frustrating for me to have spent so much
energy on the bootstrappable-Debian project during the past 1.5 years and not
seeing it go anywhere due to no decision being made. This influenced my
language and I hope you can accept my apology for any harm that was done.

True, and each of us has contributed to this mess of now about five (?)
different ways of implementing having a different set of build dependencies for
bootstrapping purposes. It became like deciding for the color of the bikeshed
during the last few iterations so I'll be happy with whatever decision you make
as to which proposal to pick.
Thanks a lot for your work.
cheers, josch
