HateInAPuddle··on Ask HN: What do you want to see in Debian 10 (“buster”)?
HEADLINE: A way to bootstrap something slimmer than "minbase" for building images.

DESCRIPTION: When building images (especially container images), there should be a way to only install the bare minimum to make apt work. No init system, no bash, no filesystem utilities, nothing. Even `debootstrap --variant=minbase` is overkill in that regard.

One way would be to create an option for deboostrap that would accept a list of desired packages (similar to pacstrap from Arch) instead of using "--variant".
