Inquiry about Debian Rootfs Construction

[z Spring]

Dear,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inquire about the 
construction of Debian Rootfs. I was wondering if you could kindly provide some 
information on how your team constructs this system, and whether the method of 
construction has been open-sourced. 

As a member of the development community, I am always seeking out new 
and improved ways to construct high-quality and reliable systems that align 
with my project's goals. I believe that the Debian Rootfs has many valuable 
features that could be beneficial to my project's success. 

If the construction method of Debian Rootfs has been open-sourced, I 
would appreciate it if you could provide me with the link, so I can take a 
closer look. Additionally, I would like to confirm if your team allows others 
to use the method of construction freely, without any license restrictions or 
other constraints. 

Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to your response. 


Best regards,
Chunxin
