So this one has caused us trouble.

virt-dib depends on debootstrap (a Debian tool for installing
chroots), and debootstrap obviously depends quite fundamentally on
dpkg.

Apparently virt-dib doesn't fundamentally depend on debootstrap so the
dependency might be removed or downgraded to Recommends/Suggests.

Question:

If we change this from a hard requires to a Recommends or Suggests
will that get around the immediate issue?

Of course I understand that it won't provide a maintainer for dpkg,
but will it stop libguestfs from being blocked?
