I'm actually *almost* able to follow it on first glance over, and I'm
one who advocates about things being and/or not being cognitively
friendly. I think I'm able to follow it because I've been struggling
through MULTIPLE different debootstraps lately. Practice makes
perfect, yada-yada-grin..
The topic is almost familiar, too. I probably encountered it while
trying to find my own niche in helping the Debian Community. With you
all chatting it back up again, I'm going to leave that tab open (as a
cognitively friendly reminder it's a to-do). I was knocking on the
door of being bored again, hadn't broken anything in a few days. That
right there looks like a GOOD way to start breaking things
again.......
