For debootstrap, the best place to talk is debian-boot ml.

What problem you had?

I'm learning how to setup a dpkg building environment on my Solaris
machines, without installing Linux. I do want to keep all my Solaris
environment, and just manage a repository of dpkg converted applications
that I will check/build/install/upgrade on top of everything else.

Example setup

DIR OWNER   SYSTEM
/   rootsolaris
{/proc,/dev,...}rootsolaris
/home/apps  me  dpkg built applications NFS*
/home/dpkg/*me  dpkg administrative files
/usrrootsolaris
/varrootsolaris

I then export with NFS /home/apps to serve all workstations : they will
be able to use any of my applications.

Best regards,
Michel

Are Debian binaries generally relocatable like this?

In any case, debootstrap is used in Nexenta in order to build zone 
filesystems. You might look at files related to the package 
nexenta-zones. The zones functionality in the current beta releases 
doesn't work out of the box but the coming NCP 1.0 release does. In any 
case, it's an easy fix to get the scripts working and have a good 
example of debootstrap under Solaris.


Thanks,
-Tim
