But that is all debootstrap itself, if you figure out how to make it work with a regular debootstrap run, you can probably make it happen via util-vserver too. > What am I doing wrong? > Is there any documentation with examples or howtos available for > creating such a skeleton? > > Another question is, when the above part is solved, is it possible to > install packages from other sources-lists during the process of > setting up a new vserver? And if yes: how? I think you would have to use apt from an initpost script, but I really don't know much about customizing debootstrap.
