Now that I look at mk-mipsel-deb-rootfs as it is in perforce, it looks
like it is in tarball mode already, and that looks like what I wrote,
so it should work.

I'm guessing that you need to try from a complete clean sheet, ie., the
rootfs must be an empty directory, and linux/Pkgs/binary/Deb be the
only packages you try to install.  Maybe we still have some missing
from that directory that we need.

Cheers,
