I started with the decstationroot to compile packages (Dirty hack with manually extracting debhelper/debmake etc, compiling dpkg manually, mkdir -p /var/lib/dpkg/info /var/lib/dpkg/updated ; touch /var/lib/dpkg/available) I got some packages ready like sysvinit, ncurses from base. Currently i have the problem to get dpkg build as a correct package as it required libtool and source dependencie for libtool is tetex-bin :( I am off now in Berlin for the Wizard of OS but afterwards ill try again ...
