After a quick scan of that README.md, I concur with Didier's observations: nothing much beyond learning how to put together a minimal Debian(-based) distribution. The debootstrap *shell script* already does that for you. Want to learn how it works? Use the Source, Luke. The nice part about the README.md is that it explains (some of) the *why* behind steps. That is arguably missing from the Source. BTW, that README.md follows a somewhat different road as debootstrap (building some bits from source for example) but it's not wildly different.
