I have been experimenting with debian package manager to make HLFS system upkeep easier. So far I've gotten into the few first basic packages, due to having a very slow test machine.
Few extra packages need to be installed during temporary system setup, mainly you have to install full perl suite, few packages from CPAN (Archive::Tar, Compress::Zlib and so forth...) and few extra things that you can discover from the debian page. It does indeed take a lot more time if you do it this way, because you have to create the debian/ structure. There are also some funny things about setting up your repository before dpkg works. So anyways, if anyone is interested in this idea, I can make proper documentation during the next time I do this, slow machines are not a good idea for doing this, especially if they stuck up into one command for several days...
