[Bug 1126328] [NEW] [MIR] eatmydata

Public bug reported:

Please promote eatmydata to main.

The reason for this request is to support bug #1126314, which requests
debootstrap to make use of eatmydata to make installs and
debootstrapping chroots 5 times faster.  This is a very simple
LD_PRELOAD library that overrides fsync() and related calls to be a
noop.  As such, it is extremely unlikely to have any security issues.

** Affects: debootstrap (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
