I'm actually *almost* able to follow it on first glance over, and I'm one who advocates about things being and/or not being cognitively friendly. I think I'm able to follow it because I've been struggling through MULTIPLE different debootstraps lately. Practice makes perfect, yada-yada-grin.. The topic is almost familiar, too. I probably encountered it while trying to find my own niche in helping the Debian Community. With you all chatting it back up again, I'm going to leave that tab open (as a cognitively friendly reminder it's a to-do). I was knocking on the door of being bored again, hadn't broken anything in a few days. That right there looks like a GOOD way to start breaking things again.......
