Split the debootstrap functions into an element debootstrap is not debian or ubuntu specific. We can make a debootstrap element that knows how to do all of the things, and then a debian-minimal and ubuntu-minimal image that use it. Finally, make the debian element simply be a collection of the extra things we do to make it look like a cloud-init based cloud image. Change-Id: Iaf46c8e61bf1cac9a096cbfd75d6d6a9111b701e

Unify and fix doc of several Debian and Ubuntu elements This patch removes three nearly-copies of debootstrap documentation and fixes some documentation aspects. Change-Id: Ief7794f5c1abad73788c063af6c862472cd34744 Signed-off-by: Andreas Florath <andreas@florath.net>

The ``debian-minimal`` element uses debootstrap for generating a
minimal image. In contrast the ``debian`` element uses the cloud-image
as the initial base.
By default this element creates the latest stable release. The exact
setting can be found in the element's ``environment.d`` directory in
the variable ``DIB_RELEASE``. If a different release of Debian should
be created, the variable ``DIB_RELEASE`` can be set appropriately.
Semi-automatic doc generation of element dependency Currently there is no description of dependencies in the generated documentation of the elements: therefore a user of an element does not know which other elements are automatically included and e.g. which configuration options are available. In addition there are some copy&pastes of parts of the README.rst scattered thought different Ubuntu and Debian specific elements. This patch adds a semi-automatic generation of dependency information of all elements. Nevertheless these are not automatically included. The author of the element's README.rst can decide if and where the dependency information should appear and can use the descriptor .. element_deps:: for this. This patch adds the dependency information for some Debian and Ubuntu patches - and creates the base for later removing the duplicated parts. A call is added to element_dependencies._find_all_elements() to populate reverse dependencies for Element objects. (This is a reworking of I31d2b6050b6c46fefe37378698e9a330025db430 for the feature/v2 branch) Change-Id: Iebb83916fed71565071246baa550849eef40560b
