The bad news is that dpkg --unpack does also try to execute the preinst,
when it does exist.
My opinion about bootstrapping is this:
-> We should create a "base system" the Debian way.
The Debian base system (base2_0.tgz) is created by the boot-floppies
package, by unpacking all the base packages into an empty directory using
dpkg's --root option (natively).
However, we will be unable to do it untill we have all the base
packages ported.
We still need Debian packages for perl, for example.
