Just read the book, then. But it doesn't sink in quite so much as when
you're actually downloading and compiling each component...

I would have said the way to go was to actually build a standard LFS,
then examine the Debian scripts and what is actually present in a
minimal netinstall. In particular, look at the Debian patches to
upstream software. I did a couple of LFS builds about fifteen or twenty
years ago, fairly early in its life, and learned a fair bit in the
process.
