Was sitting here reading through before responding. Debootstrap. I
JUST seconds ago finished running the first step, the initial download
and install, for that again. *having to rebuild my dotDeb cache, don't
wanna talk about it, smacking my head!*

Just searched and "iputils-ping" is already installed at the absolute
bare minimum debootstrap base level. I really didn't think that
package was installed because I don't ever remember encountering that
package name. That "ping" part would stand out to me, but it never
has... until just now.

So, yeah, at least for Debootstrap. "iputils-ping" is in there at the
absolute very first start where the Developers have picked the very
first packages that get the party started before the User then picks
everything else...
