"debootstrap is used to create a Debian base system from scratch, without
requiring the availability of dpkg or apt.  It does this by downloading
.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a
directory which can eventually be chrooted into."


Why do we have this in the first place? I'm not against Debian or the 
downloading thereof, but... I really cannot think of any real Fedora use 
case for this. Maybe I'm unimaginative today?
