An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro

My experience from running Debian 10 for a few days:

< SNIP >

I've seen folks building mesa-git on Bullseye. In theory, it should be also possible on Debian 10. Last week, I tried building mesa-git but it had dependencies on wayland and so I stopped. Also, you don't have the convenience of apt-get automagically applying the latest bug and security fixes.

Debian 10 is good enough for me. You mileage may vary. Its biggest selling point is it simply works.
After futzing these few days on Bullseye, I'm just about ready to join you on Buster.
What changes did you make to @danielt installer to pull a Buster debbootstrap, or what arguments did you supply?

I will bootstrap a new install on my just working nVME. apt-clone or dpkg set-selections/get-selections ought to be enough to migrate my working desktop, and an rsync of my $HOME will save the dumb, manual recreation of every setup item!
