As I understand it, the context here is bootstrapping a new "edge networking" focused Debian derivative with a number of third-party patches to existing source packages: http://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2021-September/012058.html https://docs.starlingx.io/specs/specs/stx-6.0/approved/starlingx_2008846_debian_build.html In this particular case, because it's not a full-blown port to a new processor architecture or anything, it seems like it shouldn't all need to be bootstrapped entirely from scratch. Ideally, many of the build dependencies could be satisfied initially from unadulterated packages already available in Debian, and then replaced with custom patched versions once any problem dependency cycles have been broken. -- Jeremy Stanley
