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.

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