+Recommends
+----------
+
+ arch-test            Building chroots for arches that cannot be executed on
+                      the current platform.
+
+ fakechroot, fakeroot For --mode=fakechroot.
+
+ gpg                  To figure out the right signed-by value for distributions
+                      that apt doesn't know the right keyring for.
+
+ libdistro-info-perl  To figure out whether a distro is EOL or not and to
+                      figure out which security mirror to use because Debian
+                      bullseye and later use suite-security instead of
+                      suite/updates.
+
+ libdpkg-perl         To find out keyring paths.
+
+ mount                Needed in cases mknod is not permitted and device nodes
+                      have to be bind-mounted instead. It is also needed in
+                      root and unshare mode to mount /sys and /proc but is not
+                      needed in fakechroot mode.
+
+ uidmap               For --mode=unshare.
+

+
+ ca-certificates      If using apt sources.list with https.
+

+                      /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/gutsy to figure out the
