surprise, surprise :) this was the very aim since the first day of doing
debian-live, to have minimal system requirements in order to be able to
build a debian-live image on any linux distribution that offers a posix
shell and has either cdebootstrap-static (which only requires libc6), or
debootstrap..

a bit more popular :)
