debootstrap in pkgsrc



Hi everyone,

I am currently in the proces of installing Xen3 with NetBSD Dom0 and Debian 
DomU.

Following http://www.gutch.de/NetBSD/docs/xen.html , to install debian, I need 
to get manually many files from the internet (list depending on what ?), 
whereas if I used a linux system as dom0, it looks like I would just need to 
use debootstrap...

So I was wondering : 
- did anyone tried to package debootstrap in pkgsrc? as IMHO it might be 
usefull for many purpose...
- will that be really useful on its own, or will the wip/debian package bring 
it along.
- should I try to run debootstrap on NetBSD to see whats really needed to run 
it ? will it work just out of the box or are there many changes needed ( I dont 
think the latter will happen tho...)

Once debootstrap in pkgsrc,  I suppose that installing Debian from many other 
OSes will become very straight forward... What do you think ?

Anyway, thanks for the hints ;)
