Ian Wienand 105d201e1f debian-minimal buster support
Due to the referenced bug, many versions of debootstrap can't bring up
a buster environment.  Unfortunately, these include versions we use to
do this on Xenial/Bionic nodes.

Also, there isn't backports or security updates, so elide these for
now.

I did get a working build (I haven't gone so far as a full boot+glean)
with this, at least.

==============
debian-minimal
==============

The ``debian-minimal`` element uses debootstrap for generating a
minimal image.

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.

Note that this element installs ``systemd-sysv`` as the init system
