fedora -> debian bootstrap (v1)
- setup apt
  - dnf group install development-tools
  - dnf install dpkg apt dpkg-dev autoconf automake
  - sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6ED0E7B82643E131 78DBA3BC47EF2265 (TODO change this to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/)
    - sudo dnf install debian-keyring alternative
- binfmt emulation
  - sudo dnf install qemu-static-user
- make apt-sources dir for sources to live in
- equivs
  - apt source equivs
  - sudo rsync -rv usr/ /usr/
- break bootstrap chain for debhelper (needs something better)
  - apt download debhelper
  - sudo dpkg -i --force-all debhelper....deb
  - and now its a bit broken
  - ln -s true {dh_strip_nondeterminism,dh_installchangelogs}
  - sudo dnf reinstall debhelper
  - create debhelper-compat.equivs

- should be able to run modified bootstrap.sh now
  - might die due to pkgconf, dnf reinstall pkgconf pkg-config gets it through
  - manual install of /tmp/repo/pool/main/libe/libevent/libevent-2.1-7t64_2.1.12-stable-10_arm64.deb may be required

- sudo chroot /debian !!!!!
- current status: build-essential still does not build properly thus far, for unknown reasons, cannot make much progress without having a working build-essential
- future plans
  - port to Gentoo as base instead of Fedora
  - remove some of the most hacky things
  - figure out how to bootstrap same instead of different architecture (i386??)
