I'm still not sure if I buy this argument. After all it would leave the debootstrap without apt (which is the current default behaviour, I know). How useful is this, really? I know that apt is not strictly necessary, as you can get all deps installed by debootstrap as well, but you cannot even pull in updates. What's the use case? (Still your other remarks look sane, and AFAIK a dependency on gnupg has been committed into apt.) Kind regards, Philipp Kern
