then why is my ./cache directory filled with lots of *.deb files? I tried out the commands above before hitting the send button. > (Also, I'd prefer to use hardlinks, to avoid making unnecessary copies.) This will not work with all modes.

Works fine for me. Strangely it says you are already on the latest mmdebstrap version... hrm... > I'd be happy to do this with hooks, but at the moment, I don't see a way to > do so successfully.
