'febootstrap' is like 'debootstrap', but it bootstraps Fedora root filesystems. It's just a set of shell script wrappers around 'yum/rpm' (also in Debian now), and just like debootstrap it uses fakeroot and fakechroot so you don't need to be root.
This isn't (yet) a request for sponsorship. Just hoping that someone will take a look at this package to see how I've done. It's been quite a number of years since I did any Debian packaging, so I've probably made any number of elementary mistakes.
