I've put it into the git branch feature/eatmydata as I didn't have time to test it yet. I've added a changelog entry and added eatmydata to the depends. > I know this won't work on Ubuntu (where eatmydata isn't in main, so > debootstrap can't install it), but I can improve it to handle that > better).
