Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.10lenny1
Severity: important
The following perfectly valid and correct usage
# debootstrap --include host --exclude laptop-detect \
--arch i386 --make-tarball ./packs.tgz \
etch /mnt/ http://host-of-choice/debian/
completes with return value 1, thus preventing its use
in a GNU Makefile, unless error checking is avoided on
the above statement. This must be judged as a major
impediment and undesirable behaviour.
The mandatory full file path demanded by "--unpack-tarball"
in version 1.0.10lenny1, contrasted to the relative path
accepted bu "--make-tarball", is likewise annoying, but is
easier to detect and circumvent in standard ways.
