[guardian-dev] lildebi status: the script builds Debian on a CM phone!

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Yeah, that's the plan.  There are also a couple binaries that need to  
be included (pkgdetails, busybox, and currently debootstrap).  The  
plan for later is to make the script also download debootstrap from  
Debian directly, and to make a custom build of busybox that only has  
what we need (ar, echo, dpkg-deb, patch, wget, gunzip, bunzip2,  
mke2fs).  That'll make the package quite a bit smaller.
