    Summary: Debian GNU/Linux bootstrapper
    Description: 
    debootstrap is used to create a Debian base system from scratch, without
    requiring the availability of dpkg or apt.  It does this by downloading
    .deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a
    directory which can eventually be chrooted into.
    
    This might be often useful coupled with virtualization techniques to run
    Debian GNU/Linux guest system.
