Bug Description

When bootstrapping new architectures is is necessary to be able to build with reduced dependencies in order to untangle cyclic build-dependencies. This patch provides a worked example of that functionality.

The syntax for this feature is not yet fully specified upstream so this should be considered a worked example and this bug for tracking the feature in Ubuntu, and for people to find the patch and apply it if they need to use this feature.

The initial patch supports the '<stage1>' syntax using angle brackets.
