I don't really get why you would want to create the .tar.gz file *on* a
bootstrapped system; as you said, you'd use debootstrap and tar up the files,
which you could do on any system with debootstrap installed. Copy the .tar.gz
into your config space (the basefiles/ directory) and be happy.

Best,
Michael
