Comment (by anarcat):

 one thing that might be interesting is to look at stuff the grml people
 are doing in production. this here is a grml-debootstrap wrapper that does
 a bunch of interesting things:

 https://github.com/sipwise/deployment-
 iso/blob/1b1e54b822b8af6b6c691993eae9d6589ed8b483/templates/scripts/includes/deployment.sh#L2175

 namely:

  * EFI support
  * grub configuration (e.g. `net.ifnames=0`)
  * multiple disks support (reported upstream as [https://github.com/grml
 /grml-debootstrap/issues/152 bug 152])
  * mmdebootstrap instead of debootstrap (simply `export
 DEBOOTSTRAP=mmdebstrap`!)
  * third-party repo configuration
  * etckeeper configuration
  * /etc/hosts configuration
  * a partitionning shell script
  * a reset `/etc/debootstrap/packages` (just like us)
  * automated grml-debootstrap run (`echo y | grml-debootstrap`??)
  * an elaborate puppet bootstrap
