True, but that was never its most common use case. > Especially for argument 2, I'm expecting someone to say "just do it by > hand", but as of now I don't see any way to run the installer udebs in > the bootstrapped chroot, or another method to run post install > options "the right way(tm)". Doing the things it did by hand is currently the only option. You're welcome to (help) develop replacement tools. Running udebs on an installed system will never be an option, but some D-I components (user-setup, apt-setup) already have provisions for a variant (regular deb) that can be run on an installed system, but nobody has made the effort needed to finalize them for that purpose. If you're debootstrapping a system manually, I don't think it's too great a burden to set things up manually. base-config wasn't all that spectacular TBH.
