We could, I'm not sure what the dependency should be for a file that may
or may not exist?

The larger problem is what to do about the fact that debootstrap is a
multi-arch script? Currently I can manually build the
qmu:debian-bootstrap image from the command line for any linux-user
architecture.

Once this is done I can then run all the tests under that single
emulated architecture. The question is should the "make docker" expand
debian-bootstrap into all the various architecture targets and build
them all or just assume what ever one is set-up by the user is the one
that gets tested?

Currently:

  make docker-image-debian-bootstrap DEB_ARCH=arm64 DEB_TYPE=testing V=1 J=9

Will fail because the build machinery doesn't know what
--include-executable to pass to the docker.py script.

However after that everything should work.

My current state is at:

   https://github.com/stsquad/qemu/tree/misc/docker-linux-user-v4

I'll post v5 shortly after I've done some basic testing.

No, because a running a dockerfile implies re-building the container
from scratch and the .pre script needs to pre-seed the build context.
