I've gone through the LFS process several times now, and recently I've started 
integrating dpkg into the process (pretty much along the lines of the dpkg 
hint, though I came up with it independently).  During the last time, I 
decided to start writing down the steps formally, so for the few packages not 
supporting DESTDIR I wouldn't have to keep rediscovering what to use.  And I 
thought, what better way to record it than by editing the book sources.

So, the process has been coming along a bit slowly as I learned the docbook 
format (mostly by copying examples from elsewhere in the book).  Anyway, I've 
gotten up through the end of chapter 5 now, and I thought I might as well post 
my work so far in case anybody else might be interested.  In addition, I would 
hope that even if you don't like dpkg, anybody using some variant of the 
"fakeroot" installation method might find it useful as a reference.

I do realize there's little chance of this being integrated into mainline, 
though, according to the comments in the "Package Management" section of 
chapter 6 - which is why I posted to lfs-chat instead of lfs-dev.

It's based on the SVN systemd branch.  Locations:
