I tested it a bit, both with bare debootstrap into a chroot, and by recompressing all debs on a d-i CD (netinst i386, CD1 amd64). All went ok. I did not test fancy options in d-i (probably pointless, either unpacking debs works or not), nor special firmwares (what hardware requires those? Do they come from udebs or debs?). And of course, this doesn't solve the issue of first stage of debootstrap on foreign systems without xz. Are those ever going to touch packages with priority <important? -- “This is gonna be as easy as cheating on an ethics exam!” -Cerise Brightmoon
