The debootstrap seems to work and then produced nothing useful.

At the very least it is a file system with nothing in it that
I could do a chroot with. There are a pile of deb packages in
a directory structure but nothing else.

Feels like this machine will go to Gentoo again and the new S7-2 will
try Debian. I can coordinate with Tony Rodriguez with regards to the
modern S7-2 because he has that working.
