Enable non-root building - again

[mr-nice]

Hi all,

Are there any efforts or updates to #11? Just closing it will not remove the issue?

The readme still contains the sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

Openembedded/yocto is able to build distributions with pseudo just fine. What is the actual problem with pseudo here?

Has anyone looked at using polystrap instead of debootstrap? Also debians CrossDebootstrap has a section for building images as non root user. (also using multistrap)

I saw some approaches using privileged containers but that seam just to "hide" the issue?

There is also mmdebstrap as more or less drop in replacement

Let's continue in #11.
