That seems like something different.  The idea was to do as much as possible
on a (faster, non-embedded) host system, and postpone only the final
configuration of the system to run natively on the Zaurus.

Your script sounds more like debootstrap, which runs on a Linux system and
bootstraps a Debian system.
