I was investigating using multistrap, but it has been orphaned.

mmdebstrap apparently has the desired features of multistrap but isavailable only in Buster.


I do not have the available bandwidth to install Buster.
In Stretch perl is 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 but is 5.28.1-6 in Buster.

Is it feasible to run under Stretch? How?
TIA
