OK, regarding using debootstrap to install Alpha from Debian-Ports it has been pointed out to me that the instructions I gave do not include the unreleased distribution in the install, which I did actually know, but what I had forgotten (oops :-/) is that libssl1.0.0 needed in the base system install is only in the unreleased distribution.
Unfortunately debootstrap only supports boot strapping from one distribution, thus the bootstrap will currently fail as it needs packages from both unstable and unreleased. It leaves apt unconfigured in the new chroot so is not an easily recoverable situation. I have been made aware of a nice solution to the problem and hope to update the instructions at the AlphaLinux wiki with the fix in the near future.
