debootstrap-builder


Version	`2026.195.0600`
Repo	superproject

Privileged builder toolchain that bootstraps and makes bootable a Debian-family rootfs from scratch Tools needed to bootstrap a Debian-family rootfs from scratch via debootstrap, partition a VM disk, and install grub-efi for a bootable Debian/Ubuntu system. Used as the layer composition for the debian-debootstrap-builder / ubuntu-debootstrap-builder images, which run as privileged containers under charly box build and charly vm build for kind:bootstrap source kinds.

Counterpart of candy/pacstrap-builder; both compose the same disk-build toolchain (qemu-img + parted + mkfs + grub-efi) plus the family-specific bootstrap tool. Verifiable at build scope: each tool ships a named binary on PATH and a registered dpkg package.

Acceptance plan

This candy’s plan: — the runnable spec charly check executes against a live deployment. check: steps are idempotent probes; run: steps change state.

Intent	Step
`check`	the debootstrap bootstrap tool is installed at /usr/sbin/debootstrap
`check`	the debootstrap package is registered in the dpkg database
`check`	qemu-img is available to create and convert the VM disk image
`check`	qemu-img runs and reports its version
`check`	parted is available to partition the disk image
`check`	grub-install is present to write the EFI bootloader into the rootfs
`check`	efibootmgr is installed to register the EFI boot entry
`check`	package=e2fsprogs
`check`	package=dosfstools
