How? mmdebstrap has no tight dependencies so you should be able to simply install the Buster package in Stretch and try use it. Just make sure to mention clearly in eventual bugreports if you are using the package outside its officially target suite. There are known limitations esp. when running under fake(ch)root, but I think that is well documented in the man page. mmdebstrap is great! - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
