You’re correct that Debian must be using a pre-built Crystal (or some other version of Crystal) to bootstrap the compiler, but you’ll need to dive into the specific build steps by looking at the debian/rules file and understanding the dependencies involved. If you want to replicate the bootstrapping process, focusing on the build logs, experimenting with building an older version of Crystal, and using that to bootstrap the newer version will be key.
