I'm thinking about the binary seed that's used to produce a new release,
as far as I understand it, Debian's binary seed is "build-essential".

I imagine that for a new Debian binary release, e.g., Bullseye, first
all Bulleye's build-essential packages are built using binaries from
Buster.

The idea would be to reduce the binary seed needed to build
"build-essential".  Does that make sense?

Greetings,
Janneke
