Yes, that difference can be huge though. And for automation, debspawn
is pretty neat. With debootstrap being available on your system,
debspawn should run.
It will require dpkg on the host for package builds, but not for
running arbitrary commands, so if you feel a bit adventurous, just
`git clone https://github.com/lkorigin/debspawn.git` and run
"debspawn.py" straight from the Git repo - no installation needed. You
should only need Python3, zstd and debootstrap (but I never ran this
on non-Debian, so I don't know for sure whether this will work).
