I recently used debootstrap on my Devuan Beowulf,

      see 

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3835

      I usually use qemu-debootstrap if that makes it different. But it
      is just a wrapper for debootstrap. So I am sure debootstrap is in
      Devuan Beowulf repository.

anto@hp8570w:~$

          apt-file search qemu-debootstrap

qemu-user-static:

          /usr/sbin/qemu-debootstrap

qemu-user-static:

          /usr/share/man/man1/qemu-debootstrap.1.gz

anto@hp8570w:~$

anto@hp8570w:~$

          apt-cache policy debootstrap qemu-user-static

I wanted to do a cross install of Beowulf 3.1 on a spare disk to test
it. Howver, deboostrap does not seem to be in the devuan
repository. Any reason for this? Any reason I should not steal it from
the Debian repository and install it locally?

I was going to install default Beowulf (Beowult 3.0 ?) but is there
any way I can use deboostrap to access Beowulf 3.1 directly to install
it?
