Logan V 8756cbea1b Add DIB_APT_MINIMAL_CREATE_INTERFACES toggle
Add a DIB_APT_MINIMAL_CREATE_INTERFACES boolean to the debootstrap
element which functions identically to
DIB_YUM_MINIMAL_CREATE_INTERFACES in the yum-minimal element.

This can be used to disable the creation of the
/etc/network/interfaces.d/eth[01] dhcp configuration files, which
are not needed on systems where cloud-init or other means are used
to configure networking.

The flag is enabled by default to keep creating the dhcp interface
files, maintaining backwards compatibility.

===========
debootstrap
===========
Base element for creating minimal debian-based images.
This element is incomplete by itself, you'll want to use elements like
debian-minimal or ubuntu-minimal to get an actual base image.
There are two ways to configure apt-sources:
1. Using the standard way of defining the default, backports, updates
and security repositories is the default. In this case you can
overwrite the two environment variables to adapt the behavior:
* ``DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR``: the mirror to use (default:
`<http://deb.debian.org/debian>`__)
* ``DIB_DEBIAN_COMPONENTS``: (default: ``main``) a comma
separated list of components. For Debian this can be
e.g. ``main,contrib,non-free``.
By default only the ``main`` component is used. If
``DIB_DEBIAN_COMPONENTS`` (comma separated) from the
``debootstrap`` element has been set, that list of components will
be used instead.
Backports, updates and security are included unless ``DIB_RELEASE``
is ``unstable``.
2. Complete configuration given in the variable ``DIB_APT_SOURCES_CONF``.
Each line contains exactly one entry for the sources.list.d
directory. The first word must be the logical name (which is used
as file name with ``.list`` automatically appended), followed by a
colon ``:``, followed by the complete repository specification.
.. code-block:: bash
DIB_APT_SOURCES_CONF=\
"default:deb http://10.0.0.10/ stretch main contrib
mysecurity:deb http://10.0.0.10/ stretch-security main contrib"
If necessary, a custom apt keyring and debootstrap script can be
supplied to the ``debootstrap`` command via ``DIB_APT_KEYRING`` and
``DIB_DEBIAN_DEBOOTSTRAP_SCRIPT`` respectively. Both options require the
use of absolute rather than relative paths.
Use of this element will also require the tool 'debootstrap' to be
available on your system. It should be available on Ubuntu, Debian,
and Fedora. It is also recommended that the 'debian-keyring' package
be installed.
The ``DIB_OFFLINE`` or more specific ``DIB_DEBIAN_USE_DEBOOTSTRAP_CACHE``
variables can be set to prefer the use of a pre-cached root filesystem
tarball.
The ``DIB_DEBOOTSTRAP_EXTRA_ARGS`` environment variable may be used to
pass extra arguments to the debootstrap command used to create the
base filesystem image. If --keyring is used in ``DIB_DEBOOTSTRAP_EXTRA_ARGS``,
it will override ``DIB_APT_KEYRING`` if that is used as well.
For further information about ``DIB_DEBIAN_DEBOOTSTRAP_SCRIPT`` ,
``DIB_DEBIAN_USE_DEBOOTSTRAP_CACHE`` and ``DIB_DEBOOTSTRAP_EXTRA_ARGS``
please consult "README.rst" of the debootstrap element.
----------
Networking
----------
By default ``/etc/network/interfaces.d/eth[0|1]`` files will be
created and enabled with DHCP networking. If you do not wish this to
be done, set ``DIB_APT_MINIMAL_CREATE_INTERFACES`` to ``0``.
-------------------
Note on ARM systems
-------------------
Because there is not a one-to-one mapping of ``ARCH`` to a kernel package, if
you are building an image for ARM on debian, you need to specify which kernel
you want in the environment variable ``DIB_ARM_KERNEL``. For instance, if you want
the ``linux-image-mx5`` package installed, set ``DIB_ARM_KERNEL`` to ``mx5``.
