I started with the decstationroot to compile packages (Dirty hack
with manually extracting debhelper/debmake etc, compiling dpkg manually,
mkdir -p /var/lib/dpkg/info /var/lib/dpkg/updated ;
touch /var/lib/dpkg/available)
I got some packages ready like sysvinit, ncurses from base.
Currently i have the problem to get dpkg build as a correct package
as it required libtool and source dependencie for libtool is tetex-bin :(
I am off now in Berlin for the Wizard of OS but afterwards ill try
again ...
