Bootstrap discussion and analysis for arm64/aarch64 with Debian/Ubuntu
With the new requirement to bootstrap Debian/Ubuntu support for arm64/aarch64, there's the need to start again the discussion and analysis to better understand the current situation and what might be needed to get it working in a nice and automated way.
This would also be useful for anyone wanting to rebuild a package set and bootstrap a new rootfs from scratch.
