I finished the analysis and posted it to my blog: https://landley.net/notes.html#09-02-2020 with only a little snark about packages LFS _could_ have used (ifconfig but not route). By the way, what happened to Linux From Scratch? Their base system is now a 368 page PDF downloading 86 packages? It's got python 3 (and because of that has to install openssl as a prerequisite), libtool, a perl xml parser _and_ expat, libffi, libpipeline, libelf, texinfo (seriously, info pages?), it builds ninja and mason on top of make as part of the _base_ system... At least it's not the systemd version. Anyway, I should compare this with the dpkg-query -S based analysis from https://github.com/landley/toybox/issues/168#issuecomment-583809887 and try to come up with a new roadmap section or something, but I get on a plane back to the states tomorrow...
