mmdebstrap is just a thin wrapper around apt. It doesn't handle any
checksumming itself. If you don't need any bells and whistles, mmdebstrap
essentially is doing this:
mkdir -p "$2/etc/apt" "$2/var/cache" "$2/var/lib"
cat << END > "$2/apt.conf"
Apt::Architecture "$(dpkg --print-architecture)";
Apt::Architectures "$(dpkg --print-architecture)";
Dir "$(cd "$2" && pwd)";
Dir::Etc::Trusted "$(eval "$(apt-config shell v Dir::Etc::Trusted/f)";
printf %s "$v")";
Dir::Etc::TrustedParts "$(eval "$(apt-config shell v
Dir::Etc::TrustedParts/d)"; printf %s "$v")";
END
echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ $1 main" >
"$2/etc/apt/sources.list"
APT_CONFIG="$2/apt.conf" apt-get update
APT_CONFIG="$2/apt.conf" apt-get --yes --download-only install '?essential'
for f in "$2"/var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb; do dpkg-deb --extract "$f"
"$2"; done
chroot "$2" sh -c "dpkg --install --force-depends
/var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb"
So all the heavy lifting is done by apt and if apt supports a thing, then
mmdebstrap will as well.
Thanks!
