As a related issue (if not the same issue), it'd be great to be able
to debootstrap squeeze + squeeze-lts without having to do the
sources.list update after the fact followed by an "apt-get
dist-upgrade" (which is essentially what debootstrap just did).

One way I think this could be accomplished somewhat reasonably is by
being able to provide a "sources.list" file directly to debootstrap,
but I'll admit freely that I'm not very familiar with the internals of
exactly how debootstrap processes packages, so this might be really
complicated.  I also think it'd be really reasonable to start with a
subset of sources.list support (ie, not worry about cdrom sources
etc), to keep the implementation simpler.
