Hi. Can you please consider to commit in the attached patch in debootstrap svn? It introduces support for local copy of debootstrap. It is useful to semplify testing of debootstrap, but I think it is useful to release this.
Thanks, Luca Favatella P.S. It was discussed about this in http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2009/03/msg00368.html
